Angels Camp, CA...A mere few days before the frogs jump competitively in Angels Camp, there will be lots of humans swimming, biking, and running competitively in the same fabled town, at the 21st Annual Angels Camp Triathlon. Internationally known for its Frog Jumping Contest, made famous by author Mark Twain, historic Angels Camp, Calif., is also the home of this longtime, very popular triathlon, which will take place on Sunday, May 12, 2013 (Mothers’ Day), at 8:30 a.m., at the beautiful New Melones Reservoir. Produced by On Your Mark Events, this fast and scenic triathlon course features a 1,000-yard swim (Warm water, high 60s to mid 70s. Wet suits are allowed, but not really needed.); a 16-mile bike (rolling, scenic loop course); and a 4-mile run (rolling jeep trail). The Angels Camp Triathlon will conclude with the awards ceremony, raffle, and a huge barbecue, with beer! (Those jumping frogs WISH they had it this good!)
