I just watched these videos and I can't be more excited to tackle this race...

Miles 1 - 10



Start: Downtown on the Embarcadero at Mission, run past the historic Ferry Building.
Mile 1: Look to your left to see Coit Tower overlooking San Francisco, and then pass through Fisherman's Wharf and catch the smell of fresh bread baking at Boudin's.
Mile 2: Run through Fort Mason - now a historic military site.
Mile 3: Run along the Marina and see the private yachts to your right.
Mile 4: Pass the restored wetlands and enter the Presidio.
Mile 5-10: Cross the Golden Gate Bridge toward Marin, and then back again, looking at the incredible city view as you head back onto the main land.

Miles 11 - 26.2



Mile 11 & 12: Enjoy the downhill as you move through Sea Cliff and Richmond Districts, and into the greenery of Golden Gate Park.
Miles 13-19: Take in the sights of this lush city park, passing small lakes and ponds, and re-enter the city through the Alvord Lake Tunnel.
Mile 20: Pass through Haight Ashbury and experience the 60s all over again.
Miles 21 & 22: Run through the Mission District, known for its flavorful Mexican restaurants – resist the temptation to stop for a quick meal!
Miles 23 & 24: Head through Potrero Hill and see water again as you head North for the final two miles!
Miles 25 – END: Once you run past the home of the San Francisco Giants you know you are almost there. Look for Cupid's Arrow and the finish line will soon follow.
END: Congratulations! Enjoy the post-race awards presentation, food, and festivities!

Wish me luck...I have one more training run [8 miles] and then its off to marathon on August 3rd!

I'll be running in this too. I can't wait!

Hmmmm.... Wonder if we can dress up like Bay To Breakers?!?!?!?

I get in town on Friday, Good luck, I will see you at the finish line!!!!

Absolutely awesome run. Did you all enjoy it?

the race was great, well organized, thought the course was great, what about you? have a good time?

Yeah, no complaints at all. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Got a little crowded on the Gate, otherwise, it was the most fun I've had running in a while.

LOVED the race...the first half was my favorite...running over the Golden Gate bridge was the highlight for me...miles 22 - 24 were brutal...finished in 3:54...

congrats to all that participated!
