Race Course

The .5 mile swim course will be in the Back Bay of Newport Beach. The flat-water ocean swim will be followed by a 15 mile two-loop cycling course, which will take place on Back Bay and Eastbluff Drives. The race will conclude with a new fast and scenic 3 mile run course which incorporates the new Back Bay View Park.

Swim Course: 1/2 mile

The swim is a flat water swim and the water temperature is usually in the high 60's. You will be doing a rectangle shaped course in the Newport Dunes area of the Back Bay. The course is counterclockwise. It starts immediately west of the bridge, which goes across the bay at the Dunes, heads north parallel to the bridge, then does three left hand turns. It basically follows the perimeter of the bay inside the Dunes. The exit to the swim is next to the start, then you run to the Transition on Back Bay Drive. Wetsuits are optional but recommended.

Bike Course: 15 miles

From the transition area, head down Back Bay Drive. Continue along Back Bay Drive until you reach Eastbluff Drive and turn right. Make a u-turn on Eastbluff before reaching Vista del Sol. Continue back down Eastbluff and make a U-Turn before reaching Jamboree. Turn right on Back Bay Drive heading back towards the transition area. Complete two full loops of this course.

Run Course: 3 miles

The run course is an out-and-back route behind the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort. Competitors will travel through the Newport Dunes parking lot and over the marina bridge. Follow N. Bayside Drive and turn left at the pedestrian/bicycle path. Upon exiting the bike path, make a sharp right turn onto the path leading up to Back Bay View Park. Follow this path until it dead ends at Jamboree and make a u-turn heading back in the direction that you came. Finish on Back Bay Drive in front of the Newport Dunes.

Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve

These protected habitats are very delicate and easily damaged when disturbed. Please be respectful of nature. It is important that you do not litter or disturb any form of plant or animal life in the Ecological Reserve. Please stay on the paved Back Bay Drive during the race portion and do not enter any other areas of the Reserve.
