NO SPRAY PAINT ON THE ROADS PLEASE!!!

Spectators are welcome to watch the swim start from anywhere along the shore.  Million Dollar Beach will be open for boat launching, but not swimming.  Please be patient with us in allowing spectators to move across Beach Road.  Our number one priority is safety for both race participants and specators.  The road is open to traffic, but will be controlled by the sheriff department.  Please keep in mind that racers enter transition from the swim and will exit for the bike on Beach Road.
