 Participant Fact Sheet

Both the half Ironman distance and the Olympic distance triathons will be treated to a beautiful calm swim in Castaic Lake. The Magic Mountain Man Triathlon will have a “European Style” bike course with epic views of the local mountains. The bike course will start at Castaic Lake and finish in Santa Clarita with a view of the roller coasters of Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park. The run will travel through the streets and bike paths of Santa Clarita.

Finishers will be part of a fabulous celebration that includes post event music and refreshments. All Magic Mountain Man Triathlon participants will have a chance to buy discounted tickets for Magic Mountain. Finishers will get a finishers medal, event technical T-Shirt and more. You won’t want to miss Los Angeles’ only long distance triathlon.

This is road triathlon but participants should have good bike handling skills for the long climbs and steep descents. It could be the hardest, most technical and ultimately, the most rewarding bike course in the US. We recommend that participants try to ride the bike course before the race if possible. Renegade Racing is offering free pre-rides open to anyone on July 17, August 8, and September 25. See schedule below or see the Participant Fact Sheet for all the details.

Pre-Ride Schedule:

  • Saturday July 17 Bike Course Pre Ride 7:00 am Castaic Sports Complex (32 miles) Start at Castaic, one loop and finish back at Sports Complex.

  • Saturday September 25 Bike Course Pre Ride 7:00 am Castaic Sports Complex (56 miles) Start at Castaic, both loops, finish in Santa Clarita (Avenue Hopkins, Santa Clarita 91355) with limited transportation back to Castaic Lake.
