WHERE TO WATCH The Swim Watch the world's best triathletes emerge from the San Francisco Bay at the Marina Green Beach on the Golden Gate Bridge side of the St. Francis Yacht Club. Cheer them on along Marina Blvd as they make their way to the transition at Marina Green. The Bike Mounting their bikes at Marina Green, participants will begin their 18-mile ride heading west to Crissy Field. You can cheer on your favorite athlete as they cycle along Marina Blvd. For all you future triathletes, you can bike your way through the Presidio or Golden Gate Park and await riders at the Palace of the Legion of Honor. The Run/Finish Serving as the bike and run transition as well as the Finish Area, Marina Green is THE best seat in the house for the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. Friends and family will be able to support and cheer on athletes as they run along Marina Blvd. They will have the opportunity to watch alongside the finish chute to cheer on their favorite athletes, but please remember, for safety's sake, only athletes are allowed IN the finish chute. Please note that spectators will not have access to the start boat for the swim start. The start boat is for athletes and staff only. Do you have loved ones that can’t make it to San Francisco to watch in person? Don’t worry! Here are two ways your loved ones can watch the action LIVE!
Loved ones will be able to tune in LIVE to The Jump off the San Francisco Belle by joining the Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon Facebook and Instagram Live starting Saturday, June 10th at 7:20 AM PST and Sunday, June 11th at 7:05 AM.
