• Comments: In my opinion, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon is a great race for any level of participant. They have ample volunteer staffing, great pre-race, during-race and post-race support, and it's really a fun event. I would recommend it to anyone from beginner to elite. What's not to love about getting to tell people that you did the same triathlon course as Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez? And I BEAT J-Lo! by 16 minutes!!

• Comments: People complain about the celebrity presence here, but I barely notice it...maybe it comes from having spent many years as an assistant director in the film/TV industry. I honestly appreciate both the attention to fitness that their participation brings and their willingness to get out on the course with both the elites and age groupers in an event like this. This is one of the largest and longest sprints in North America...you will rarely see a triathlon of this scale outside of the Ironman and IM 70.3 series, frankly. So it is a chance to experience some of that scale without having to prepare for those distances. But it is also a long enough race to be challenging on a course accessible to beginners.
