Welcome to the Home of the Bayshore 70.4 Triathlon!
The Bayshore 70.4 is a small, local, casual and a little competitive event to start the triathlon season. Our course features ocean and bay views and one heck of a post-party. The event is held in Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, CA. The event features a fantastic course where athletes swim in calm bay waters, bike on a flat bike path towards the turnaround in Whittier and finish with a fast and protected run along the beach. The event was formed by Erin, Mike and Barry in 2011 as a workout to launch their successful IMAZ training.
HUGE THANKS TO OUR 70+ VOLUNTEERS!!!
2014 RESULTS ARE UP!
CONGRATS TO OUR ALL COMPETITORS FOR A GREAT RACE!
FOR ELIZABETH
We are pleased to announce that a portion of our proceeds from the 2014 event will go to "For Elizabeth" Elizabeth is a friend of long time 70.4 participants Tim and Courtney Mahar.
Elizabeth Lobato was born with almost every bone in her body broken, given just days to live. She was diagnosed with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, more commonly known as Brittle Bones Disease or "OI." For Elizabeth is a charity dedicated to finding a cure for OI through the groundbreaking (and bone-healing) research done by Dr. Edwin Horowitz of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. For Elizabeth also raises funds to offset the cost of treatment for Elizabeth, who only wants to walk someday. Elizabeth needs three annual treatments to maintain her current rate of bone growth. Each of these treatments costs over $16,000. Please help us in the fight to help Elizabeth walk again. For more information please visit www.forelizabeth.com.
