Bayshore 70.4 and Sprint Triathlon - Long Beach, CA
The event is held at the Bayshore race site near 5400 E Ocean Blvd in Long Beach and offers a long course 70.4 triathlon and a super sprint distance plus relay options. The long course is presented as an early season training race while the sprint distance is aimed at first time triathletes. The swim takes place in bay waters described as calm.
Transition is located at Bayshore and Ocean Blvd. The bike course for both distances is not a closed course; roads include a few stoplights each way and bike lanes remain open to the public. The event uses an honor system for road safety.
Aid and cutoffs for the long course are provided. Swim cutoff is one hour; there are time cutoffs for later legs with aid stops at those cutoff points. Aid on the bike is available at the halfway turnaround, with an option for a bike drop bag at the 28 mile aid station. Run aid stations appear every 1.5 miles and offer water, soda, electrolyte drinks, gels, banana halves, pretzels, and gummy bears.
Packet pickup is scheduled the day before at the race site. Registration includes a race shirt, timing chip and bib, course aid and nutrition, finisher medal, and post race food. Awards go to the top three overall male and female finishers in both long and sprint distances; no age group awards are listed.
Free clinics are listed with dates to be determined at Bayshore Aquatic Park covering swim, bike and run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
