Let’s Make a Difference

Zuma Beach in Malibu is the home of the original triathlon corporate challenge !  Triathletes at Zuma Beach have raised over 20 million for some amazing causes including the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and now The Challenged Athletes Foundation ! We have 3 main goals in mind with this amazing program:

  1. To build camaraderie among colleagues and co-workers, creating a more positive work environment
  2. To encourage and provide corporate health, wellness, and fitness initiatives, improving employees’ overall health and satisfaction
  3. To use the energy created in Malibu to raise money for The Challenged Athletes Foundation as they prepare athletes for Paralympic Games in Los Angeles

Start a Team

We do all the work for you! We provide highly skilled triathlon coaches to come and speak to your organization, in person or via Zoom. They will explain the sport, the sense of satisfaction that comes from crossing the finish line in Malibu and provide training tips and plans. If you are interested in starting a team please contact us at zumachallenge@zumafoundation.org.

Rules / How it Works

There are a few simple guidelines, companies can sponsor employees or have employees register on their own and support their efforts with camaraderie, donation matching and encouragement. Company teams can consist of individual athletes completing the entire event or 3-member relay teams (swimmer, biker, and runner). We will place your entire company together in the transition area as long as everyone meets the fundraising minimum of $250 per person. There are lots of great incentives for folks who raise more too, like our Malibu Oceanside Brunch and CAF Swim Clinic series!.

EMPOWERING LIVES THROUGH SPORT

The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) believes that sports and physical activity creates purpose and fuels dreams. That is why we are committed to providing athletes with physical disabilities life-changing access to sport, eliminating barriers to participation through the gift of adaptive sports equipment, athletic prosthetics, and the resources needed for coaching, training, and competition travel. CAF is focused on empowering lives through sport, shining a bright light on the achievements of our athletes and the adaptive sports movement. In the years ahead, we plan to offer even more opportunities for athletes to participate in events and adaptive sports clinics, experience invaluable mentorship and social engagement, and feel empowered to chase their goals and dreams.
