Overview

The San Francisco Marathon offers six distances: a full marathon, TWO half marathons, a 10K, 5K, and Ultramarathon. This running event is like no other — run the Golden Gate Bridge, gorgeous waterfront, funky Haight-Ashbury, Mission neighborhoods and more!

Course Description

This race offers two half marathons:

The “City Half” starts in Golden Gate Park, Offering a scenic and lively route through San Francisco’s most diverse and iconic neighborhoods. With a later start time and a faster course, runners can soak in the smells of eucalyptus and sea air at the start line as they run through Golden Gate Park.  Haight Street awaits you after you pass the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. The course flattens out, and then it’s go time!

 

The “Bridge Half” includes a run across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge! Take off from the Embarcadero, hugging the bay and passing historic landmarks on your way to the Bridge. Feel the rush as you conquer stunning downhill sections on the North side, soaking in sweeping views of Sausalito and Cavallo Point. As you cross back into San Francisco, your finish line awaits just a stone’s throw away—with the Golden Gate Bridge standing proudly behind you. Don’t forget to snap a selfie to capture the moment!
