There will be a JUNIOR (19 an under), OPEN (20 - 39) , MASTERS (anyone 40+) , Senior Masters (anyone 50+) and Golden Master (anyone 60+) division for both men and women.
The series will reflect a point series and at the end of the series - awards will be given out at the final race!

Race #2 - Feb 1, 2025 - Long Distance - 15 miles - Marina Del Rey
Race #3 - March 1, 2025 - Marathon Distance - 21 miles
The 21 mile race will be scored with the same scoring table as the series points (25 pts for first, etc.) The sprint will be lower weighted (1st. 8 pts, 2nd. 7 pts, 3rd 6 pts.. etc..). These scores will be added together, which will be the place for this race.
Sign up for the event and you will be placed in the 9-mile course and the sprint.
You may select your jersey size and purchase your jersey to race in at an additional cost. It's the same jersey throughout the entire series, so you will only need to purchase one.
