Iconic festival offers new events, activities and premium “glamping” options
Motiv Sports has announced that the all-new, rebranded Wildflower Experience will offer a full weekend of traditional racing plus additional events and premium camping options at Lake San Antonio. Wildflower is known all over the world for its legendary triathlons and festival-like atmosphere. This yearโs 35th Annualย Wildflower Experience will be held throughout the weekend of May 4-6, 2018.
Wildflower Experience New Events and Activities
In addition to the legendary Wildflower Long Course, Olympic Distance and Sprint Distance triathlon races, Wildflower will now offer a 5K and 10K trail run, stand up paddle board events, and yoga sessions throughout the weekend.
โBy taking the year off it has allowed us to keep our key traditions and evolve into our future festival vision,โ explained Colleen Bousman, Race Director. โOne of the key new things for Wildflower 2018 are additions that also focus on entertaining friends and family throughout the fun-filled weekend. We will have something active for everyone to enjoy all weekend long.โ
Wildflowerโs setting in the active Central Coast of California is one of many reasons athletes travel to this iconic race. Aside from the race events, the scenic outdoor venue includes live music, a beer and wine garden, nature hikes, corn hole tournaments, and a large array of exhibitor booths โ all lending their touch of fun for a fantastic weekend.
Premium Camping Options
On-site racers will now have more premium camping options at Lake San Antonio than ever before. Along with traditional tent camping, athletes can upgrade their Wildflower camping experience to โglampingโ in canvas yurt-like Bell Tents or nostalgic Tinker Tin trailers. Campers will be surrounded by Central Coasts wildflowers, and star-filled nights. Thereโs also an option from Getaway RVย to have a RV delivered onsite. If camping isnโt of interest, attendees can choose to stay outside the campground in the charming town of Paso Robles, which offers a variety of inns, hotels and vacation rentals.
Wildflower continues to draw thousands of competitive and amateur athletes each year. With Mother Nature as its venue, a challenging course that demands bragging rights, and a fun-filled, three-day festival, and a way to disconnect from the daily digital stress of life, itโs sure to be the California destination race for years to come.ย
