San Quentin prison is a maximum security California state prison near San Rafael.
Alcatraz Prison was a maximum-security federal prison, located on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco bay that closed in 1963.
It has been decided that a triathlon between these two nefarious prisons would be a challenge for those who enjoy a challenge and attract history buffs as well.
This is a race between historic locales and unique in its scope.
This particular race will be near Half Ironman, consisting of:
a run of roughly 16 miles,
a challenging swim of 3 miles
and a scenic cycling course of 25 miles.
