Lake Cahuilla Park is nestled at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, about 30 miles southeast of famous Palm Springs. Lake Cahuilla’s calm waters provide a pleasant place for the 500m Swim with average October water temperatures in the 70’s. The triathlon course, approximately 50 feet below sea level, is ideal for first timers with cool mornings and mid-day temperatures in the 80’s. The BIKE route is a flat loop along rural low traffic roads and the RUN which is partly off-road on sand and dirt, circles the Lake to the Finish on the beach.
