2026 Optimism Cal Tri Newport Dunes - 11.1.26

Music, food and running! Celebrate a night under the lights with us by running 12 and a half laps! This event is open to all ability levels. We will have 8 heats of the 5K (3.1 miles), seeded based on your expected 5k time, with maximum cut off time at 35 minutes.

All participants will receive a post race meal ticket for our food truck partner, Birreria y Tacos Doña Betty. Finishers will also receive a commemorative race medal, and winners of each heat will get a special surprise.

Adidas will have spikes and super shoes for you to demo during the race so you can hit your fastest time!

Heats will be chosen based on expected finish times, and will be announced closer to race day. Please estimate as close to your current fitness as possible. If you win your heat by 2 minutes or more, you will be ineligible for any prizes. BE HONEST WITH YOUR PROJECTED TIME!

Space is limited and will sell out.

**Race director reserves the right to review and revoke winning times.
