Over the last 30 years, The Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon has established itself as one of the premier triathlons in the world and one of the few to be featured on national TV. Its popularity has also made it one of the hardest races to get into, on par with Kona and Ironman Canada.
The Escape to Alcatraz Triathlon Series was developed in 2003 as an additional option for those looking to participate in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. The Series consists of up to ten qualifying events across the United States and Internationally.
The best amateur male and female competitors from each race will qualify in the following manner:
