The 24th Annual Sandestin Triathlon is coming up on August 21st. Let’s be honest, there is a very small percentage of us who are in shape enough to handle one of these events. I’ll be the first one to admit than I’d fall out before the first leg of the race is over. In fact, I’d be the guy over at the snack bar when the race begins at 6:30 am. But, when you see these athletes perform, it’s amazing to witness their drive and passion.

Approximately 700 competitors will start things off with a half-mile Gulf of Mexico swim. Then, they will quickly strap on their shoes and grab their bike for a 20 mile ride along the coast. Finally, a 4 mile run through Sandestin’s beach and bayside communities will top off the day.

Make your plans to visit the Beaches of South Walton  for the 24th Annual Sandestin Triathlon. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast.
