A Rewarding and Scenic Race Through the Streets of San Francisco!
The San Francisco Marathon isn’t just a race. It’s a celebration of grit, community, and unforgettable moments along every mile. Recently named one of the 12 best summer marathons by Runner’s World Magazine, the course has STUNNING scenery featuring the city’s most iconic landmarks. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge will not disappoint you; this is perhaps the most breathtaking moment of the race.
You don’t have to run marathons to be a part of The San Francisco Marathon experience. That’s because spectating is essential to the energy of marathons in San Francisco. Bring your full supply of positive vibes because when the race begins, the cheering never stops. The race begins at 5:15 AM at the Ferry Building where spectators can support friends and family.
We encourage everyone to come out on race day, whether you know someone running or not!
