The Golden Gate Half is a spectacular journey through this stunning City by the Bay. The chance to run across the Golden Gate Bridge is an experience unlike any other, but it is far from the only breathtaking moment you’ll enjoy along the way.

The fun begins along the shore of the San Francisco Bay. You’ll line up at the storied Muni Pier in Aquatic Park, where you can take in magnificent views of not only the Golden Gate Bridge, but also infamous Alcatraz. From there, you’ll trek through both the Marina and Presidio as the bridge draws ever closer.

Once you reach this masterpiece of cable and steel, you’ll first travel on the eastern walkway toward Vista Point and then head back to the City on the bridge’s western walkway. All the while, stretched out before you will be the extraordinary sights of both the San Francisco cityscape and coastline.

After you exit the bridge, the last leg of the half marathon will take you to Beach Street & Ghirardelli Square where countless locals and fellow runners will be cheering you on to the finish line!

Nicole Kimball's thoughts:

Loved this race! Running over the Golden Gate Bridge has been on my bucket list and this race was the perfect time to do it. The views were breathtaking! The hills were not at all as bad as I was expecting, totally manageable. Plus the aid stations had plenty of water, nuun, and honey stinger gels. Such cool medals too! The race shirt is a great long sleeved tech tee with a simple but really nice design. Definitely one I will wear in training all the time (especially when it's cold)!! Only tricky part to this race is parking, both for the expo and the actual race day. The expo was in a nice area, not many vendors, but luckily the city easily makes up for it. I'd love to do this race again one day!!
