Game On! is bringing Ponte Vedra Beach 2 races again this year! The first Ponte Vedra Beach Olympic & Sprint Triathlon will take place on Sunday, May 15, 2022. We will be back again on Sunday, October 1, 2022.
Nestled comfortably between Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach has a rich and unique history. Ponce de Leon, a Spanish explorer best known for his pursuit of the legendary “fountain of youth,” is believed to have landed on what would later become Ponte Vedra Beach on April 2, 1513.Today, this thriving community has come to be considered one of the most luxurious and prestigious recreational and residential destinations in Florida, if not the entire country. It was voted Money Magazine’s “Best Place to Live in Florida” and among the top 50 places to live in the United States.
This destination race will be hosted at Mickler's Landing 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 South on A1A through the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (GTM Research Reserve). Finish with a run North on Ponte Vedra Blvd taking in the views of the lavish homes and jaw-dropping oceanfront settings. Upon first sight of the meticulously maintained resort-style community, you’ll instantly understand why it was ranked one of the “Best Places to Live in United States”.
