Cold Bay water, the Bridge and the Sand Ladder.
San Francisco, United States Sunday 6 June 2027
Why you might love it
- 01
There is still nothing like diving off a boat toward Alcatraz and finishing under the Bridge.
Who this suits
Experienced triathletes (not ideal first triathlon per organiser); relays open the course to teams.
Getting ready
Preparation
Jump from a boat near Alcatraz into about 55F San Francisco Bay, bike the Presidio and Great Highway, then run past the Golden Gate and up the Sand Ladder — a 1.5 mi / 18 mi / 8 mi classic capped at about 2,000 athletes.
