12th Annual Long Beach Triathlon

  • The Long Beach Triathlon is a fast paced three-sport event that will take place on Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 7:00 AM, along the Long Beach City downtown shoreline.  “This will be the 12th annual triathlon, and we are making it into a fundraising event.  I hope that through this event, the Long Beach community could come together and recognize that HIV is still a big problem in this community”, said Karen Kachigan, founder of the Long Beach Triathlon, who started the triathlon after her brother died of AIDS.

    As a sprint triathlon, the race covers roughly half the classic Olympic triathlon distance, where athletes compete in a ½ mile swim, an 11-mile cycling race, and a 3-mile run.  This triathlon is ideal for novice and intermediate athletes, yet attractive enough to draw the top tri-athletes on the West Coast circuit. 

    All proceeds from the triathlon go towards supporting the Comprehensive AIDS Resource and Education (C.A.R.E.) program at St. Mary Medical Center, the largest comprehensive HIV provider in the Greater Long Beach area.

    Volunteers are also being recruited to help staff the triathlon.  Volunteers will not only support these courageous athletes during the competition, but will also help the people who depend on CARE for services and support.  Some volunteers will be needed as early as 5:30 AM.  For more information on how to volunteer, please contact Carlos at 562-624-4936.
