SOBA Teammate Sofie S and SOBA Coach Ruby compete in the Legacy Triathlon

On July 17, SOBA Teammate Sofie S and SOBA Coach Ruby participated in the Legacy Triathlon in Long Beach. Way to go Sofie and Ruby!

The Toyota Legacy Triathlon was a sprint-distance Triathlon (750 meter swim, 20-kilometer bike, 5-kilometer run) triathlon.

The Toyota Legacy Triathlon will enable USA Triathlon to contribute to Southern California’s Olympic lore and rich triathlon history by giving back to the local multisport community. USA Triathlon is the first National Governing Body to bring a new annual event to the Los Angeles footprint as part of the lead-up to 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Their mission is to start building our legacy before, rather than after, the Games — starting at the grassroots level, and over time becoming a prestigious international event featuring elite and age-group athletes, as well as paratriathletes, from around the world.

To give back to the local multisport community and fulfill its mission of opening pathways to triathlon for all, the USA Triathlon Foundation has committed a total of $100,000 in funding — $10,000 per year through 2028 — to support local community initiatives in conjunction with the Legacy Triathlon.

In late July, teammate Sofie S competed in the 2022 USA Triathlon National Age Group Championships in Wisconsin.
