San Francisco Marathon

There is no better way for a runner to get to know one of the most beautiful cities in the world, San Francisco. For two days you'll be headquartered at the Expo learning about great new running aids, but also where the Trolleys run and a dozen or so of the City's most acclaimed restaurants. The course is as diverse as the City's topography, and residents. If you love a marathon, need a qualifier for the Boston and love one of the cultural centers of the world, you'll be here every year.

Course Description

The San Francisco Marathon is a loop course. The race starts and finishes on the Embarcadero (near the Ferry Building), traversing San Francisco. The Full Marathon runs through Fisherman's Wharf, the Marina, across the Golden Gate Bridge (and back!), through the Presidio and into Golden Gate Park. After a tour of Golden Gate Park, you'll run down the famous Haight Street and through the Mission, Potrero and Mission Bay Districts. After a pass behind AT&T Park you're almost home: just run under the Bay Bridge and up to the Finish Line. The course is USATF certified and is a Boston Marathon qualifying race.
