Dive into one of New Mexico’s most fun summer race weekends in Santa Rosa—“the City of Natural Lakes.” The City of Lakes Triathlon (COLT) features a crystal-clear open-water swim in Twin Lake, a fast bike through classic high-desert scenery, and a run that brings the energy back to the water and the community. (And if you make a weekend of it, Santa Rosa’s famous Blue Hole is right there for post-race adventure.) saturdaywarriors.net+1

Learn more about the host city, Santa Rosa.
Santa Rosa, the "City of Natural Lakes", is a town in northeastern New Mexico. The nickname sounds improbable for a town in the middle of some very dry country, but it's appropriate because of the presence of the Blue Hole and several other lakes based on springs. Santa Rosa is on historic Route 66.
