2026 Golden Gate Sharkfest Swim

Embark on an exhilarating journey as part of the Sharkfest Series with the Golden Gate Swim! Departing from Sausalito, you'll board a ferry to begin your adventure at the south tower of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. From there, you’ll plunge into the cool waters and swim back towards the north tower before crossing the finish line at East Fort Baker’s Horseshoe Cove in Sausalito.
This is not just any swim; it's an exclusive opportunity for seasoned open-water enthusiasts to claim their place among the brave. With a limited entry of 300 participants, this event promises to sell out quickly, so secure your spot early!
To join the ranks of those who have conquered this challenging course, you must demonstrate exceptional swimming skills. A comfortable one-mile swim in an indoor pool within 40 minutes is recommended for all registrants.
Prepare yourself for a memorable experience that combines breathtaking views with physical challenge. The Sharkfest Series offers more than just a race; it’s a celebration of endurance and camaraderie under the vast, open skies above the Golden Gate Bridge.
