About 39th Annual Tinsel Triathlon

Tinsel Triathlon & 5K
Reverse Sprint Pool Triathlon
As one of the oldest and largest independently owned reverse sprint pool triathlons on the West Coast, it is certainly an ideal end of the season endurance race.  The 35 year old event truly can be the perfect venue for Triathletes of all levels.  For first timers who have always wanted to be triathletes the course is well defined, attainable and loaded with helpful volunteers.  We are also an awesome setting for the seasoned triathlete. The course layout lets you push yourself hard for a solid workout.  What better way to get your game on ... Reverse Sprint Pool Triathlon!

The Tinsel is a Sunday Triathlon run on a usually sunny, yet crisp, Southern California day with all roads closed and the coffee hot.  The 5K run takes place in a scenic, calm area of West Hemet, California in Riverside County.   Known as a "flat & fast" course, the 12 mile bike ride gives the rider a feeling of being on the country roadside.  The race ends in the 25 meter heated pool at West Valley High School, triathletes will swim 150 meters (up & back 6 times) to the finish line where you receive a unique Tinsel finisher medal.  The awards ceremony follows immediately and the bling is top shelf!
