The race finishes at Oglethorpe Park on Anastasia Island, where participants will receive a custom-designed finisher medal and enjoy snacks, refreshments, and post-race fun. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this classic event—registration is limited to 1,550 participants!

The Game On! St. Augustine Triathlon, presented by Bowen Hanes Company, Inc., returns to Vilano Beach Oceanfront Park on Sunday, July 26, 2026. This destination race offers athletes of all levels a scenic and challenging course in the heart of Florida’s historic coast.

For more than two centuries, Vilano Beach has been the beach that locals go to. It’s a choice spot north of St. Augustine popular for its casual atmosphere, quiet ambiance, and natural surroundings. To get to Vilano Beach, you must take the scenic route. And by that, we mean coastal AIA, a designated All-American Road. This Byway supports a variety of wildlife including birds, the gopher tortoise, and endangered species.

This destination race will be hosted at Vilano Beach and will include an Olympic distance Triathlon, Duathlon and Aquabike as well as the Sprint Triathlon and Sprint Duathlon. The swim will take place in the Atlantic Ocean, with a scenic bike course taking you North on A1A through the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (GTM Research Reserve). Finish with a run through the tropical "Keys-like" neighborhood and along the Vilano Beach Nature Boardwalk with amazing views of the wetlands and the collection of mosaic art of local wildlife.

Would like to cordially invite you to our annual "Pink Up The Pace" 5K Walk/Run. On Saturday, October 3, we will kick off (October’s) Breast Cancer Awareness Month with our 5K walk/run through our historic downtown St. Augustine. Pink Up The Pace (PUTP) is a non-profit organization founded by Cindy Ortiz Chaconas in 2009, when diagnosed at age 28.

The race is now in its 18th year and continues to make an impact and grow. The 2009 inaugural race brought in over 800 participants and raised $20,000. In 2019, there were 2,900 participants and $50,000 raised. All the money raised stays in St. Johns County and goes directly towards our mission of assisting the uninsured and underinsured in the early detection of breast cancer. In the last 18 years, we have been able to pay out over $350,000 in breast imaging services to the men and women in need in our county.

Thank you for your continued support!
