More than 700 athletes took to the surf, sand and streets to compete in the 33rd annual Kring & Chung Newport Beach Triathlon on April 11. The race kicks off with a half-mile swim in the Back Bay of Newport Beach, continues with a 14-mile bike ride along the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve and ends with a three-mile run behind the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort. Kring & Chung, a business litigation fi rm with offi ces throughout California and in Las Vegas, has sponsored the triathlon since 1997. “It’s good to support a local race,” said Kyle Kring, a partner at Kring & Chung who has competed in 20 of the past 33 races. “The cool thing is that there are a bunch of families that do the race, sometimes from three generations,” he said. “It’s one of the oldest triathlons in the U.S.”
