Nathan Benderson Park is a world class multi-purpose recreation center situated in a 600 acre park that incorporates a 400 acre artificial lake. Sarasota, located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, is the gateway to miles of beaches with fine sand and shallow waters such as the Lido Beach and Siesta Key Beach. It is the perfect winter destination for a triathlon event with daily mean temperatures in the low to mid 60’s.

  1. Nice start of 2024 in Sarasota Florida

    This review was submitted for Sarasota Triathlon 2024 - 70.3 Aquabike

    Year of participation: 2024   I participated in Aquabike

    Well organised event for the start of 2024. I had hoped for a warmer Floridian weather. Moreover, contrary to the weather forecast it started to rain during the swim, so by the time I was out of the water my towel, socks and cycling shoes were soaked in water and I hadn’t taken my rain jersey. Unfortunately, I had to stop due to severe neck pain. Overall compliments to the Alpha Win team for an excellent organisation and support to an overseas participant.
