New York transplant Josie Danzinger decided to run the 2XU Malibu Triathlon with the help of her mother, who ran in Saturday's race.
There was a new addition this time. It was the U.S. debut of the Super League Triathlon - the world's fastest swim-bike-run series.
Triathlete Max Wiseman was able to raise about $17,000 to his surprise.

"I just think it's important to give back and to try to inspire him to have a philanthropic streak," Wiseman's father said.
ABC7 anchor Philip Palmer also participated in the event - he and many others were committed to the good cause.
