San Diego International Triathlon (SDIT) - Sunday, June 28, 2026
The San Diego International Triathlon (SDIT) is the 44th annual edition held on the downtown waterfront of San Diego. The event includes multiple race formats staged on a course that combines a swim in San Diego Bay, a bike route around Point Loma and nearby landmarks, and a run along the waterfront into downtown.
Race formats offered include sprint and international triathlon distances, aquabike, duathlon, relays, and a separate Waterfront 5.6K run. The event is USAT sanctioned and awards a $2,000 prize purse to the top three overall male and female International Triathletes.
Course highlights mentioned for the bike and run include passage by Cabrillo National Monument, the historic Point Loma Lighthouse, Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, the Star of India, and the USS Midway. Timing is chip-based with lap splits and results published online. Finish area amenities include a beer garden, mimosas, a live band, massage therapists, an expo, a premium tech shirt, a unique finisher medal, and snacks and a coffee bar in the transition area.
A VIP package is available with race packet pickup on race morning, reserved transition space within the wave, and expedited check-in; the VIP option has a deadline prior to the event. The race benefits Father Joe’s Villages, which provides meals, housing support, healthcare, job training and other services. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
