Endurance Grid lists 11 aquabike races in California, from September 2026 to June 2027 across 10 cities.
The aquabike race calendar in California is busiest in October, April, and May, with races most often in San Diego, Bakersfield, Santa Cruz, and Ventura.
An aquabike is a triathlon without the run: an open-water swim straight into the bike, with a single transition in between — and you finish on two wheels. Instead of racking the bike and running, you cross the line on your bike.
It’s offered at a range of distances, most commonly Sprint and Olympic, and usually shares a venue and course with a triathlon the same day. For swimmers and cyclists — or anyone racing around a running injury — it’s a way into multisport without the run.
