Event overview

Details: 

The Alameda Aquathlon (think splash and dash) will feature a 750 yard swim in the beautiful bay followed by a 5k run along the shoreline. Our race day will also feature a 1 mile & 3 mile stand up paddle out and around the Ballena Bay. 

Event location: 

600 Westline drive (shoreline kite shack)

Parking will be at Crown memorial Beach - there will be a parking fee, plan accordingly or park on the surrounding streets

The Aquathlon will have a  beach start swim with groups no larger than 50 athletes. Actual wave breakdown will be determined closer to the event. Tentative start time is 8:30am, but is reliant on the tide schedule and we will monitor as we get close to race day. The 750 yard swim will be a triangular out and back, keeping the buoys on the swimmers right with approximately 400 years out, a 100yard cross (turn) and then another 250 back along the shore to the finish and the return will go with the tide, so a smooth swim back. There will be transition area to change from swim to run gear, and the event will finish with a 5k run

The run course for the Aquathlon will be out and back along the Island shoreline 

The stand up paddle will start at 10:00am and will take you a bit further out from the shoreline past Ballena Bay and back. The 3 mile 5k option will be three loops, and the 1 mile option is one triangular loop in the Alameda Bay
