    April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

    One in three girls and one in four boys are sexually assaulted by someone they know and trust. This creates a vulnerability that sexual predators prey upon.

    We are addressing the important issues of human exploitation that affects many people. Our mission is to spread awareness and fundraise for solutions we have identified.

    Seaside Stride Description

    Welcome to 3rd annual Seaside Stride beach trek. Our 2nd Get Outdoors for Freedom Spring & Summer Series event will be April 11, 2026 with a staggered start. A 5:00 am start for 20 mile trekkers and an 8:00 a.m. start for 10 mile trekkers, both from Fish Lips Waterfront Grill.

    This is not a race, but a community event to gather outdoor enthusiasts to RISE together to help bring awareness and end the sexual exploitation of others.

    The Seaside Stride will consist of 2 options, a 10 mile or 20 mile beach trek. This is an out and back trek (walk) starting and returning to Fish Lips Waterfront Grill. It's a beautiful tide day but options to break away to the sidewalk are along the way. The course map is below.

    NOTE: The 20 mile trek has a repeat section. The first turnaround is at the Hampton Inn then the 2nd turnaround is at Jetty Park back to the Hampton Inn for the 3rd turnaround and then returning to Fish Lips.

    Participants should physically prepare, train and previously completed a similar distance before trek day. A training guide is available HERE!! While not required, we encourage individual fundraising and sharing physical training progress leading up to this adventure. The main goal of this event is to bring awareness to the tragedy of human trafficking and what better way than to invite personal friends and family into the journey!

    Participants are responsible for providing your own personal snacks and drinks during the trek. Included in registration is post-trek celebration with a Free drink of choice and light breakfast snacks to enjoy before the trek with an event t-shirt and swag bag.

    We do encourage that you stay and enjoy lunch at Fish Lips after the event and support our event sponsor!

    WE ARE NOW OFFERING AN AQUABIKE DIVISION!

    The Ron Jon Cocoa Beach Triathlon has established itself as a fun and challenging event and as one of Coastal Florida’s favorite early season triathlons.

    Always held the second weekend of April, our event draws a good mixture of Floridians and triathletes from more northern states anxious to escape the cold and get in a springtime race.

    Our event is an enjoyable one for established athletes, but has proven itself as a great test for first time triathletes. We have twice been a “Best First Timer’s Race” national finalist in the Triathlon Business International annual awards.

    Duathlon Information: 1 MILE RUN + 12.5 MILE BIKE + 5K RUN

    Aquabike Information: 0.25 MILE SWIM + 12 MILE BIKE RIDE

    Celebrating the shuttle program

    Coinciding with the 14th Annual Cocoa Beach Triathlon, this run takes place along the cart path and on the hard-packed fairways of the Cocoa Beach Golf Course.

    Runners will be greeted with beautiful vistas and sweeping views of the Banana River and bird life before coming across the same finish line as triathletes will pass through just minutes later. All finishers will receive an official event shirt, along with the striking medal.

    Because the Shuttleversary 5k coincides with the Cocoa Beach Triathlon, the field of entrants will be limited to just 200 entrants.

    Enter soon to guarantee your spot in this historic race and stick around to socially distance cheer on our triathletes as they come across the finish line!
