So how do I get into Escape from Alcatraz next year?

Greetings all,

Having lived in San Francisco for 6 years back in the 90’s, I would really like to do this race. I am pretty familar with all aspects of the race, even the swim as I used to windsurf the bay on a daily basis. So how can I get in? Is there a lottery? There is a qualifier around here (in northern Ohio) but it conflicts with IM Wisconsin next month. Any thoughts?

thanks

Do you know if the swim/run Alcatraz race still exists?

In addition to the web site info on individual entry, I think it is pretty easy to get in as part of a relay team. Last year I had a relay team as a fall back. When I got in via the lottery, I had my son do the swim leg. It made for a great race for the whole extended family.

I was going to suggest committing a really heinous crime, being really bad in your state/federal penitentury, then being sent there as a further punishment. Once there, you could just try and escape. Since they unfortunately don’t use it for actually housing criminals any more, it takes either qualifying or lottery.

Where does one find the details of the lottery?

Thanks, Cathy. Please accept my sincere apologies for missing the second line.

Keep checking back but I doubt if they will update the site until mid-September after PacGrove is finished.
