I can bike and run, but I’m nervous about the ocean swimming.

We will be holding an ocean swim clinic prior to the race taught by Los Angeles County’s top lifeguards! Check back for details.

Do I need to wear a wetsuit?

Wetsuits are not required, but most people do choose to race in them. The water temperature is usually 67-70 degrees.

What is the mountain bike division?

The mountain bike division is for those people who are racing using a mountain bike instead of a road bike.  The width of your tires must be 1.75 inches or larger.  These tires can be smooth, knobby, or with tred.
