The event in a few words

Head to California, directly opposite the skyline of San Francisco in the United States 🇺🇸. The program immerses you in a legendary triathlon with a one-of-a-kind challenge.

The course starts brutally with a shiver-inducing jump from a ship off Alcatraz Island. Your muscles battle the icy waters to reach the shore of Marina Green 🏊‍♂️. Your ride takes over with a technical loop climbing the steep hills of the Presidio. The course’s identity lands a heavy blow during the sprint on Baker Beach, just before the punishing ascent of the Sand Ladder and its 400 sand-covered steps 🧗‍♂️.

Cross the classic loops off your mind—here, the Pacific wind lays down its relentless law 🌬️. Spectators packed along the waterfront scream themselves hoarse to warm up the chilled athletes. The raw energy of the metropolis hits you head-on under the majestic shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge 🌉.

Save a hint of fuel to comb through this fascinating city just a stone’s throw from the finish. Hoist your tribe onto the famous cable cars to barrel down the steep avenues to the lively piers of Fisherman's Wharf 🚃. Then guide your partner on a mystical walk beneath the giant redwoods of Muir Woods National Monument. Validate your exit ticket without trembling and come brave the mythical swells of the West Coast! 💥
