SWIM (1.2 Miles):

The swim starts and finishes at the boat ramp in the southwest quadrant of Oceanside Harbor and goes in a counter-clockwise direction. The course is one loop and begins by paralleling the west side dock, angles left toward the mouth of the harbor, and turns around where it meets the Boat Basin entrance. The course follows the same layout as it returns. Transition 1 is located in the parking lot that starts at the boat ramp and goes north.

BIKE (56 Miles):

The bike course parallels the coast for the first half of the ride before turning East and heading into Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base. The inland portion travels through hilly and unspoiled Southern California backcountry.

RUN (13.1 Miles):

The flat two-loop run course takes athletes along the Strand underneath the famed Oceanside Pier and through the coastal neighborhoods. Athletes run on a sand beach section for roughly a quarter-mile of each loop, depending on tides.
