Swimming from Alcatraz Island was once thought to be impossible. This year, 1,800 athletes 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 as the swim is just phase one of your Tri-California San Francisco Triathlon at Alcatraz journey.

Next, jump on your bike and head up and down the hills of San Francisco's sharp turns, fast descents and agonizing climbs.

Putting the bike leg behind you is merely conquering 2/3 of the race. Now you get to take in the scenic views of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and as you weave your way back to the finish line 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 only a triathlete can.
