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.
