PdR: Malibu - September 21, 2008

Zuma Beach - the final event....

The 2008 Zoot Playa del Run Aquathlon (swim/run) & 5k Run series - all summer long!

The 6 event series has stops in some of the top cities along the Southern California Coast. We guarantee some "friendly" competition, great beginner clinics, and a post event party that'll knock your socks off. Participants can choose between an open water swim, or 5k run, or combine both into an Aquathlon. Points will be awarded for the top finishers at each event. At the end of the season, we'll award the King and Queen of the Beach Awards. Check out the site often as we'll be adding updates weekly.

caf To support the Challenged Athletes Foundation this year, Kuota Bicyles and Triathlon Lab have teamed up to create the most incredible raffle ever. For only $10 you will be entered into the year end raffle to win a NEW Kuota Bicycle built out by Triathlon Lab! Tickets can be purchased when you enter the race, or on race day!!
