Description
The Publix Escape to Miami Triathlon boasts the most unique and challenging course in Florida, and some might say the country. The first tri in South Florida’s history to abandon athletes on an island has become a national phenomenon after its two short years of existence. Don't wait to register to compete, it does close out!
Swim Course
1.5 K
Starts on Escape Island and heads back to Miami in the open waters of Biscayne Bay north of the Venetian and MacArthur Causeways. Land ashore at Margaret Pace Park and head to the transition as hundreds of fans cheer you on.
Mass Start:
The Publix Escape to Miami implements a mass open water start on the shore of Escape Island.
Wetsuits:
Wetsuits will NOT be allowed. Water temperature is expected to be above 78°. This is in accordance with USAT guidelines.
Bike Course
40 K
The bike course takes you over the ocean on a straightaway into Miami Beach using the Julia Tuttle Causeway. The two lap course provides you with a challenge as you climb the causeway while remaining within view of Escape Island. This portion of the course requires you climb the causeway's bridges 8 times, this where the better riders are separated from the rookies. The course also includes a ride through Miami’s revamped Wynwood Design District and past some of Miami Beach’s well known mansions along Alton Road.
Run Course
10 K
The course takes you past the Carnival Performing Arts Center and Miami Herald buildings, two of Miami's signature architectural landmarks. You then begin the climb over the MacArthur Causeway, running along cruise ship row and Hibiscus & Palm Island mansions. You'll make your turn around at Star Island, home of Miami's rich and famous. As you complete your run back over over the bridge, you will have one last glimpse on to your right of where it all started, Escape Island.

A tough race
Reviewed by: Floridabiker, Fri Oct 12 2007
Pros: Well run, with lots of great volunteers. Very challenging point to point swim with a mass start of 1,000 racers! Most of the roads were well maintained. Very professionally done.
Cons: Race started over an hour late this year and 45 min. late last year.
This is an extremely challenging race, which makes crossing the finish line just that much more rewarding. This is a great late season race, just make sure you put in some extra time swimming.
