Maybe not that kind of Ironman.......
The most unique event that makes July 4 so legendary around here is the HERMOSA BEACH IRONMAN competition. In this extreme athletic test, participants must run a mile, paddle a surfboard a mile and then consume a 6-pack of their favorite beer!
The first one to hold down their beverage(s) successfully wins, and you may want to keep your distance from the center of the action or you're at risk of getting drenched. For pics of the event's crazy action, check out the Ironman gallery. The action starts at 11:00 a.m. and anyone over 21 is eligibile to enter- just make sure you know that close to 1,000 spectators will be monitoring your skills. For those interested in participating, the Ironman is $20 and you will need to bring your own surfboard and 6-pack to join in. Keep in mind that alcohol fines are TRIPLED in Hermosa Beach on the 4th, and you will need to be very discreet if you choose to partake in the activities, especially soon after the Ironman. If you're interested in registering, you'll need to go to GAME CHANGERS from 1:00 P.M. - closing on JULY 3!
