Also, in the Alcatraz race that I did, we were given advice about the best route to follow if you were at all concerned about missing the entrance to the finish area, and I don't recall it being a problem for anyone.
The year I did it they instructed people to aim torward a specific structure in the city based on their speed. I underestimated my speed and ended up finishing by swimming with the fast tidal current. (I was swimming alone because I didn't trust the mob). I think easily over a 100 people overestimated their ability and missed the get out point and had to run back along the water on the beach.
