Results & Tracking → 🌐 Official Page →With a long history in the city, IRONMAN 70.3 Santa Cruz merges a relaxed, local-race atmosphere with the high-level IRONMAN experience athletes expect. Santa Cruz "embodies the laid-back, sandy-feet, no-shirt-no-problem culture that makes the California Coast so uniquely Californian" — even the most driven triathletes are known to pause their watches to take in the September sunset over the harbor. The swim (1.2 miles) starts right on Santa Cruz Main Beach, next to the historic Beach Boardwalk, and sends athletes clockwise around the Municipal Wharf before they exit the water at Cowell's Beach.
The bike course (56 miles) begins at Depot Park and heads north along one of the most scenic stretches of road in the country: Highway 1, hugging the Pacific coastline all the way to a turnaround near the historic Pigeon Point Lighthouse, before riders retrace their route south. The closing run (13.1 miles) is flat, weaving through parks and along coastal bluffs to a finish unlike almost any other in the sport — a true beach finish line, with sand underfoot and the Pacific as a backdrop. For anyone chasing a laid-back season-closer with real IRONMAN pedigree, Santa Cruz delivers both surf and substance. Results and live tracking: RTRT.
