20 of the world’s best professional triathletes – women and men – are returning to beIN SPORTS to race in the spectacular 'Escape from Alcatraz' San Francisco leg of the T100 Triathlon World Tour. 

The California leg is the third in eight breakneck 100km races in iconic locations around the globe to find out which triathletes will be crowned as the first-ever T100 World Champions.

The San Francisco race starts with a grueling 2km swim from the world famous Alcatraz Island before the competitors complete an 80km cycle and 18km run in the shadow of the iconic Golden Gate bridge. 

An Olympic Games Warm-Up

Two American triathletes lead the way with Paris Olympics gold medal contender, Taylor Knibb, heading a strong field as she continues her preparations for

The 2024 Games in France. The 26-year-old is gearing up for a punishing but impressive Olympic schedule where she plans to compete in both triathlons – the individual and the mixed team relay – as well as the cycling time trial.

In the men's field, PTO world number one, Sam Long, will be looking to go one better than his previous two second-place finishes in the Miami and Singapore triathlons.
