Sports Events

Temperate year-round weather, diverse terrain and appealing postgame leisure activities make SLO CAL an ideal place for competing in—and watching—a variety of sports. Pristine beaches and impressive waves attract professional surfers and surf competitions, while stand-up paddle boarding races dominate harbors. Impeccable golf courses host tournaments, and other events on their links and tennis tournaments take over local courts. High-octane cycling races blow through downtown city centers with cyclists gliding over rolling vineyard covered hills and past beautiful coastlines. From pounding the pavement to tackling mountain trails with ocean views, runners and triathletes take on everything from competitive races to fun runs, color runs, and obstacle course adventures. Rollicking rodeos also spring to life all across SLO CAL. And don’t forget team sports! The courts and fields of SLO CAL feature baseball, football and basketball games―even polo matches― all throughout the year.
