Share28.9 Miles from the mountains to the ocean. Race along the Santa Ana River Watershed and help keep our oceans, waves and beaches clean.

Join Surfrider Foundation Newport Beach Chapter - for the 3rd annual Rock Water race on Saturday March 20, 2010. The race covers 28.9 miles starting at head of the Santa Ana River trail at the border of Orange and Riverside Counties and finishes at the Santa Ana River mouth in Huntington Beach CA.

What is a WaterShed?
A watershed is any river, gully, canyon or pathway that drains to the ocean. Watersheds are everywhere and anything on land can find its way to the ocean via a watershed. This means that if you throw something on the ground it may eventually end up in the ocean. Drop a cigarette butt or plastic fork, and it will end up in the ocean, on our beaches, or in the stomach of a fish, sea bird or other marine animal.
