SCOTT CATHCART & ADVENTURE SPORTS
I got an early start running, at age 3, but I didn’t get very far. Then I took a lot of time off during my teenage years. I picked it up again right after college, living in New York City in the early 90’s, mainly doing short sprint races in Central Park. It wasn’t until I moved to San Francisco in 1995 that I started getting into longer distance running, and then cycling, open water swimming and triathlons. In 1997 I ran my first marathon — the NYC Marathon — and did my first Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, finishing each in under 3 hours. Alcatraz continues to this day to be my annual reminder to stay in shape, 28 years in a row now as of 2025.
