Santa Cruz 70.3

Santa Cruz embodies the laid-back, sandy-feet, “no shirt, no problem” culture that makes the California Coast so uniquely… California. Even passionate, driven triathletes (who’ve made Type 2 fun an art) pause their watches to take in the September sunset over the harbor. IRONMAN 70.3 Santa Cruz has a long history in Santa Cruz, merging a chill, local-race feel with the high-end IRONMAN experience athletes expect. The course features a 1.2-mile ocean swim around the wharf, a 56-mile rolling bike along scenic Highway 1, and a flat half-marathon through parks and along coastal bluffs, finishing at the famous beach finish line. If it’s a laid-back season closer you crave, look no further than IRONMAN 70.3 Santa Cruz for the ultimate surf city experience.
