DESCRIPTION: THE WORLD’S MOST INFAMOUS TRIATHLON RETURNS!
The world’s best tri-athletes assemble in San Francisco for one of the most infamous and extreme sporting events…the 2010 Accenture Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. In its 30 years as a maximum-security prison, no one ever escaped alive from the menacing shores of Alcatraz. But every year this popular event draws thousands of athletes and spectators alike to see who can accomplish that daunting task.
Packed with heart-pounding action, the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon challenges top triathletes with a 1.5 mile swim through frigid shark infested waters from Alcatraz Island to shore, a grueling 18-mile bike ride, and a demanding 8-mile run through the rugged trails of the Golden Gate Recreational Area.
Set against the natural beauty of San Francisco, this thrilling triathlon is a virtual postcard of the City by the Bay. But make no mistake, for the athletes who compete, it’s physically demanding, emotionally exhausting, and an all-around brutal experience.
Amateur and professional triathletes this year travel from every corner of the US and the World to compete in this landmark event, which is arguably the world’s most dangerous and picturesque triathlon. The race was recently named the #1 triathlon in the country by Inside Triathlon Magazine.
