International Distance Triathlon 1.2 mi Swim, 25 mi Bike, 7 mi Run

It CAN Be Done!

Swimming from Alcatraz Island was once thought to be impossible. This year, 1,800 athletes will make the treacherous swim, fighting the strong currents and ever looming fear of what lies below the water's surface. This is certainly not a race for the faint of heart. The swim will start your journey but the hills of San Francisco may just be the hardest section on the course. You will find sharp turns, fast descents and agonizing climbs to test your aerobic endurance and mental fortitude.

Next you get to take in the scenic views of the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge as you weave your way back to the finish line on the demanding run course. The shadows of Alcatraz Island loom as a reminder of your epic race. Throw in a beach run with a 400 step sand ladder and you have one of the most difficult triathlons in the world. Come prepared both physically and mentally to challenge yourself as this will be a race you will never forget!
