More than 1,500 amateur and professional athletes took to the beach Sunday for the 12th annual Nautica Malibu Triathlon.
The fund-raiser for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation raised more than $50,000.
The triathlon consisted of a half-mile swim, 18-mile bike ride along PCH and four-mile run along Zuma Beach to Point Dume and back.
Among the Hollywood celebrities who took part were Academy Award-winning actor Robin Williams; Ingo Rademacher (“General Hospital”); “Baywatch” stars Jose Solano and Ingrid Walters; Andy Lauer (“Caroline in the City”); Jason Scheff, lead singer for Chicago; Jim Davidson (USA Network’s “Pacific Blue”); Mike Malinin, drummer for the Goo Goo Dolls; and Olympic athletes Steve Scott, Dave Johnson, Peter Vidmar, Amanda Beard, Mel Stewart and John Naber.
