Beach Biathlon Registration Underway

This year's event honors Austin Gibbons, a life-long Long Beach resident and avid surfer and surf instructor who shared his passion with all, including those with special needs. Austin was a regular at the Beach Biathlon, and this year, we're racing in his memory—“This one's for Austin!”
