Los Angeles' Zuma Beach recently played host to some of the world's finest athletes, celebrities and philanthropists, who came together to participate in the 23rd annual Nautica® Malibu Triathlon. The event raised more than $1 million to benefit Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and its Pediatric Cancer Research Program.
Nearly 3,300 participants competed in the challenging triathlon, including a team of VF Corporation associates and celebrity participants Teri Hatcher, Mario Lopez, Jeremy Piven, Felicity Huffman, Jason Lee, Julie Bowen and William H. Macy. The challenging triathlon featured a half-mile swim in the Pacific Ocean, an 18-mile bicycle ride along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway and a four-mile run along the sands of Zuma Beach.
"In its 23rd year, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon is recognized as a high-caliber athletic event that brings together world-class athletes and celebrities to compete for a good cause," said Karen Murray, President of Nautica. "We are thrilled to see the community, year after year, come to Zuma Beach and show their support for the life-saving work of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles."
