Age-Friendly Action Plan

The City of Oceanside joined the AARP Age-Friendly Network on April 7, 2024. The City is working with the Center for Excellence in Aging & Longevity at the San Diego State University Social Policy Institute to develop a 5-year action plan. The City hosted several listening and action planning sessions  to gather community input about needs and priorities that would make Oceanside more livable.  This 5-year action plan was developed based on information gathered during the public outreach.

IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside

The City of Oceanside collaborates with IRONMAN to put on a half-IRONMAN triathlon every year. The race includes a 1.2-mile swim in the harbor, dips into Camp Pendleton for a 56-mile bike, and finishes with a 12.1-mile run along Pacific Street and the Strand. The finish line celebration is at the Jr. Seau Pier Amphitheater. The race draws in competitors from around the world in addition to local athletes. The race also features an IRONKIDS portion the day before (April 5, 2024) from 3pm-6pm, which is a short run along the Strand for children of all ages.

Please expect multiple street and parking Lot closures. The Harbor beach and launch ramp will also be closed throughout the event.
