“Herbalife Nutrition is proud to bring the triathlon back to Los
Angeles, after a five year hiatus. This USAT sanctioned event
brought some of the sport's best athletes to our hometown and
showcased the best Los Angeles has to offer, from Venice to
downtown LA,” said Michael Johnson, Chairman and CEO, Herbalife
Nutrition.
In the men’s elite division, Robbie Webster, who trains in
Tacoma, Washington, crossed the finish line with a time of 1 hour,
50 minutes and 15 seconds. In second place, Robbie Decker from
Boulder, Colorado completed the race with a time of 1 hour, 50
minutes and 44 seconds and Ben Collins from Seattle, Washington
nabbed the last podium spot with a time of 1 hour, 50 minutes and

Winning the women’s elite division, Sarah Haskins, who trains in

Oregon completed the race with a time of 2 hours, 1 minute, 26

The Herbalife24 Triathlon brought the sport of triathlon back to
the streets of Los Angeles. At 6 AM, athletes began the ocean swim
at the iconic Venice Beach. After participants exited the water,
the race continued on bike down Venice Blvd. and through the heart
of Los Angeles, ultimately culminating alongside iconic LA
landmarks and finishing at the famed L.A. Live outdoor venue.
This Triathlon, the only urban point-to-point course, offered
athletes various options from an International and Sprint distance
triathlon and relays as well as an Aquabike, 5-kilometer Run/Walk,
and Corporate Triathlon Relay.
From the winners to the last person to cross, runners heard
their names called out by Mike Reilly. Reilly, the iconic global
IRONMAN announcer known for his “You Are An IRONMAN!” exclamation
as competitors crossed the finish line, brought a version of his
trademark call to the Herbalife24 Triathlon.
Upon completing the race, athletes and spectators came together
at the Finish Line Festival. This festival features entertainment,
a kids zone, beer garden, food truck, massage area and the
Herbalife24 Recovery Zone.
Additionally, this race is one of the qualifying events for the
2019 Toyota USA Triathlon Olympic Distance Age Group National
Championships, set for August 5 in Cleveland.
