2023 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon:

More than 2,000 triathletes from around the globe will invade the streets and waters of San Francisco for the 2023 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. Triathletes will embark on a grueling 1.5-mile swim from Alcatraz Island to the shoreline of Marina Green, an 18-mile twisting bike ride through the Presidio, and an 8-mile trail run out to Baker Beach and up the grueling 200-plus step sand ladder. The infamous history of the island as an inescapable federal prison illuminates a mysterious challenge to athletes worldwide -- the chance to “Escape from Alcatraz.”

This year’s event will also feature the annual ESCAPE Aquathlon on Saturday, June 10.

Staying true to the triathlon’s storied start, athletes will jump from a boat to begin their 750-meter swim, exit the water at the St. Francis Yacht Club and take off on a 5k run along the San Francisco Bay Trail to finish their ESCAPE at Marina Green.
