Both races will follow the same format and feature three race options:
\n1. Aquathlon: 1.5-mile swim<\/b> from Alcatraz to Crissy Field, followed by a 7-mile out and back run<\/b> over the Golden Gate Bridge.
\n2. Aquathlon Relay Team:<\/b> 2-Person Team completing full Aquathlon course.
\n3. Swim only: 1.5-mile swim<\/b> from Alcatraz to Crissy Field.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Orca Alcatraz Challenge offers an epic way to get an up-close look at the site of infamous Alcatraz Island Federal Penitentiary, the Golden Gate Bridge, and a unique view of San Francisco\u2019s world renowned skyline,\u201d says Terry Davis, CEO and founder of Tri-California.<\/p>\n

Race morning begins by jumping off the California Hornblower, positioned right off-shore of Alcatraz Island. Once in the water, athletes will endure chilly water temperatures and moderate currents as they make the 1.5-mile journey to East Beach of Crissy Field. After removing wetsuits, athletes participating in the Aquathlon will transition to running shoes for a hilly but beautiful out and back run on the Golden Gate Bridge, ultimately finishing back at Crissy Field.<\/p>\n

Online Registration is available for the August 3rd race. For registration and additional information, visit: TriCalifornia.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
