2007 Alcatraz Traithlon: Run the race that rocks
On June 3, the world’s best triathletes assemble in San Francisco for one of the most infamous and extreme sporting events, the 2007 Accenture Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. Packed with heart-pounding action, it features a 1.5 mile swim through the frigid waters from Alcatraz Island, a grueling 18-mile bike race and a demanding 8-mile run through Golden Gate National Recreation Area and a demanding 8-mile run finishing on Marina Green.
For one weekend each summer, 2,000 of the world’s best triathletes assemble in San Francisco for one of the most infamous and extreme sporting events…the Accenture Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. In its 29 years as a maximum-security prison, no one ever escaped alive from the menacing shores of Alcatraz. Every year, this popular event draws over 15,000 spectators to see who can accomplish that daunting task.
Set against the natural beauty of San Francisco, this thrilling triathlon is a virtual postcard of the City by the Bay. The Annual 2-day Fitness Festival & Expo on the Marina Green will be held on June 2 and June 3, which is held in conjunction with the Accenture Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. This festival offers spectators a wide array of health and fitness products to browse and sample.
The Corporate Challenge Relay is an important element of the Accenture Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. The Corporate Challenge Relay also provides an opportunity for positive competition among corporate teams, as well as a chance to network within the business community. Corporate Teams will compete for the “Keys to the Rock” perpetual trophy.
