IRONMAN 70.3 Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz embodies the laid-back, sandy-feet, "no shirt, no problem" culture that makes the California coast so uniquely California. Even the most passionate, driven triathletes pause their watches to take in the September sunset over the harbor. Welcome to the Surf City Showdown, where Santa Cruz's iconic surf culture meets world-class racing. With deep roots in this coastal community, Sandstone IRONMAN 70.3 Santa Cruz blends a chill, local-race vibe with the premium IRONMAN experience athletes expect. The course features a 1.2-mile ocean swim around the wharf, a 56-mile rolling bike ride along scenic Highway 1, and a flat half marathon through parks and along coastal bluffs before finishing at the legendary beach finish line. Whether you're racing for a personal best, battling for the podium, or celebrating one last big effort before the season ends, the Surf City Showdown delivers the perfect mix of coastal beauty, spirited competition, and California charm.
