San Francisco Marathon
Sun July 21, 2024
The San Francisco Marathon race prides itself on its unique nature; like the city itself the race is more individual, the course more challenging, the terrain more beautiful – an event Bart Yasso, Chief Running Officer of Runner’s World, referred to as “challenging and beautiful…one of the country’s best big city marathons.” The San Francisco Marathon proudly hosts over 25,000 runners and rewards their efforts with unparalleled breathtaking views and a unique course that they will never forget.
The Full SF Marathon starts at the Embarcadero at Mission. The course is USATF certified and a Boston Marathon and Olympic Time Trials qualifying race.
