Consistently ranked as a **bucket list triathlon**, it’s a summer showdown to see who truly has what it takes to *ESCAPE*. The course features an intense 1.5-mile swim from the waters near Alcatraz Island, an 18-mile bike ride through the Presidio's rolling hills, a demanding 8-mile run that includes the famed Sand Ladder, before an exhilarating finish at Marina Green. Race weekend also includes a **two-day Fitness Festival** at Marina Green, free and open to the public, featuring the Official Escape Merchandise Store, a Beer Garden, local food trucks, product giveaways, and interactive sponsor activations- all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the City by the Bay.
