Spectator Info - Olympic

Please join us on Saturday, September 13th by cheering on your family, friends and a great field of professional triathletes in the first ever Olympic Distance race at the Nautica Malibu Triathlon! The parking lot will close as soon as it fills, typically no later than 6:00 AM, so please arrive before then to ensure you don’t miss anything! If the lot is full or closed when you arrive try parking at Malibu High School, located at 30215 Morning View Road. Below are some great tips and activities for spectators to partake in while at the race.

White Message Board
Located in the Center of the Event Expo Area is a white board containing Wave Start Times, a Map of the Course, a Time Line of Activities, and Race results.

Event Expo Area
This area contains booths for the major sponsors of the events, such as Nautica,Toyota, Paul Mitchell, Arrowhead, Giant Bicycles and many more. Please visit the booths to check out what our sponsors have to offer! For example, you might like to get your hair cut at the Paul Mitchell booth or stop by the Toyota Engines of Change display.

The Bleachers at Zuma Beach
The bleachers are located at lifeguard tower 14 on the boardwalk. The transition area, which athletes will pass through multiple times, is located in the parking lot, directly in front of the bleachers. The bleachers are a great central location, they can serve as a meeting point, rest stop, or viewing spot. From the top row, spectators can turn to see the start of the race by looking south down the beach, and they can see the finish of the swim by looking north.

Spectators can then pivot back around to the transition area to see their family and friends transition from the swim to the bike. Competitors will exit the transition area with their bike, heading south down the parking lot. If you look straight ahead beyond the transition area, in a few minutes, you will be able to see your competitor heading North on Pacific Coast Highway as he/she departs on the bike ride on Pacific Coast Highway.

Keep an eye out for cyclists heading south on Pacific Coast Highway. You could see your competitor returning from the bike, and have enough time to get your camera ready by the time they arrive back in the transition area. Competitors will then embark south along the Zuma Beach boardwalk. Spectators will not be able to see competitors on the run course from the bleachers. At this point, please make your way over to the finish line, which is located South of the transition area bleachers, beyond the event expo area. There are bleachers located at the finish line as well!
