Marathon Events Calendar

Nearly 50 triathletes are to compete on in this family-friendly, neighborhood style triathlon. The event has two distances — a sprint triathlon (half-mile swim, 12-mile bike ride and three-mile run) and a "mini" sprint which is exactly half that combined distance. The race starts at 8 a.m. with a swim at Sombrero Beach, a bike ride around Sombrero Country Club golf course and a run through the surrounding beach neighborhood. To register in advance, visit website for details. Race-day registration opens at 7 a.m.

Believed to be the longest running tournament in the Keys, this challenge awards more than 20 trophies and prizes to participants, including individual and team champions scoring the largest bonefish and permit, the top anglers in fly and grand slam divisions (for the top spin or fly angler who releases the largest bonefish, permit and tarpon "slam"), as well as the tongue-in-cheek "wet pants" champion titles for anglers wading from shore.
