Half Marathon

Starting near the Rose Garden in Golden Gate Park, this half marathon briefly hits city streets, meanders past landmarks like the Conservatory of Flowers, the Music Concourse, and the famed San Francisco windmills while also offering Pacific Ocean vistas. This fast, net downhill race is not one to miss!

10K

The 10K distance takes a short jog onto the Panhandle, returning back to Golden Gate Park for a very fast downhill stretch of effortless running while enjoying sights of Spreckles Lake and the Buffalo Paddock. This is a PR course, no doubt about it! We can’t wait to welcome you to the start line!

5K

The 5K course is a perfect showcase of what an asset Golden Gate Park is to the city and community of San Francisco. It is also very fast, family friendly, and fun — no excuses, join us! Set your sights on new finish lines for 2024 – we can’t wait to hand you a medal!
