TRIATHLON FAQs

Can I check in on Sunday?

Yes, but we strongly recommend that you pick up your packet on Saturday. Sunday there will be long lines and waits, and the race will not start late due to late check-ins.

I can bike and run, but I’m a little nervous about the ocean swimming.

We will be holding an ocean swim clinic prior to the race taught by Los Angeles County’s top lifeguards! Check back for details.

Do I need to wear a wetsuit?

Wetsuits are not required, but most people do choose to race in them. The water temperature is usually 67-70 degrees.

What is the mountain bike division?

The mountain bike division is for those people who are racing using a mountain bike instead of a road bike. The width of your tires must be 1.75 inches or larger. These tires can be smooth, knobby, or with tread.

Does the Nautica Malibu Tri offer refunds?
All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable to other athletes.

Can the Nautica Malibu Tri transfer my individual race entry to another person?

No, unfortunately, individual registrations MAY NOT be transferred from one person to another.
