Formerly named the Santa Cruz Sentinel Triathlon, the Santa Cruz Triathlon is a non-profit event. Last year the race donated nearly $50,000 back to the Santa Cruz community. Proceeds from the event are donated to Santa Cruz County High School athletic programs, the UC Santa Cruz Swim Program, Cabrillo College Athletics, Santa Cruz Track Club, Santa Cruz Triathlon Association and Long Marine Lab. These organizations receive donations from the race and provide volunteers on the course. Your participation is greatly appreciated!
