Hundreds of top athletes from around the world will take over the streets and bay waters of San Francisco for the 28th annual Accenture Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon with an icy cold 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz Island to the San Francisco shoreline, an 18 mile hilly bike ride through the Presidio and an eight mile trail run through Golden Gate Recreational Area Fans can see the swim start and end, the athlete transition areas and the finish line. Spectators also are invited to enjoy the free Fitness Festival & Expo throughout the weekend featuring dozens of vendors, product demonstrations, refreshments and more.

For spectators, the transition area (where they get on bikes, get off bikes, start their run and finish their run at the finish line ) is the best place to be. It’s right on the Marina Green- very hard to miss! There are bleachers too to see everyone cross the finish line. Another cool place is where they come out of the water by St. Francis Yacht club.
