The City of Newport Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with the

Newport Swim Team and the Newport High School Volleyball team, is excited to

announce the inaugural Newport Harbor Triathlon, taking place Sunday, September 29.

Participants will run and bike through historic areas of the city that offer scenic views of

the Bayfront, Yaquina Bay Road, and Yaquina Bridge. The swimming segment will be

held in the Aquatic Center.

This event will offer youth divisions, beginning at five years old, and an adult

division with men’s, women’s, and open categories. Proceeds from the Newport Harbor

Triathlon will support local youth athletic programs at Newport High School and at the

Newport Recreation and Aquatic Centers. The event is free for spectators who wish to

cheer on the athletes. To register, or to inquire about volunteer opportunities, visit
