The modern sport of triathlon had its modest beginnings with an event held in Mission Bay in San Diego, CA on September 25, 1974. There were 46 athletes that day. Seven years later, Hagg Lake Triathlon became one of six stops on the Bud Light Triathlon Series Tour drawing about 500 athletes, with Dave Scott coming out on top. Today, as one of the nation’s oldest and longest running triathlon events, Hagg Lake continues to draw upwards of 700+ athletes. Its popularity is rooted in the rich tradition and the exceptional venue, which is one of the most scenic in the country. And the Hagg Lake course offers a true test of this terrific sport with its rolling hills on both the bike and run leg portions of the event. Make the Hagg Lake Triathlon & Endurance Sports Festival one of your summer stops and compete on the course that has seen many of the greats in the sport of triathlon.

This is a pretty challenging trail race with lots of roots, ruts, a few logs and big ditch. It was mostly shaded and had a few views of the lake. Great atmosphere with camping available at the start/finish. Burgers, beer, and big medals at the end. Coming off an injury, chiro team offering rub downs and sports taping was a nice touch. If you like trails, this is a great race. Love the theme: Know your WHY
Trail run with lake views!

They also had camping at the lake rear the starting line.
Packet pick up was easy with several vendors.
Pre race they had fried oatmeal and coffee.
On the course there were limited aid stations maybe 3 total, which had water, Gatorade, gels, and fruit.
Bathrooms were only in a couple of spots on the course.
