Registration is Now Open for the Iconic Race & Festival Weekend

Lake San Antonio, CA – The legendary Wildflower Triathlon is set to make its much-anticipated return to Central California from May 2–4, 2025. Often hailed as the “Woodstock of Triathlon,” Wildflower is more than just a race — it’s an immersive experience that blends endurance sports, outdoor adventure, and a vibrant festival atmosphere. Since 1983, Wildflower has drawn athletes from around the world to challenge themselves on its scenic yet demanding courses. The 2025 Wildflower Triathlon will bring back its signature Long Course, Olympic, Sprint, and newly introduced Gravel Sprint events, alongside additional endurance challenges, including a 20K Trail Run, 5K/10K Fun Runs, and an Open Water Swim.

“We’re beyond excited to see Wildflower back in full force,” said Colleen Bousman, Event Director and owner of See & Be Productions. “This is more than just a race—it’s an unforgettable weekend where people push their limits, celebrate community, and soak in the energy of the Wildflower experience.”
