Mission Bay Triathlon
Introduction The Mission Bay Triathlon celebrates the first triathlon in history, the Mission Bay Triathlon, was held in 1974 as a run-bike-swim-run event on Fiesta Island by the San Diego Track Club. The race consisted of over 5 miles of running, 5miles of cycling and 600 yards of swimming. In 2008, 1600 competitors from around the country will return to Mission Bay and celebrate triathlon. Join us at the birthplace of the sport! Sponsors Xterra Wetsuits, an official sponsor of the Mission Bay Triathlon,
will have wetsuits available to rent for the event. A triathlon type of
wetsuit will keep you warmer, help you float and will probably make for
a faster swim time. Looking for a wetsuit rental? CLICK HERE to rent your wetsuit from XTERRA Wetsuit Rentals. Race Features
