This is my favorite way to kick off Super Bowl Sunday. I live in San Francisco, and my very familiar with the course. For what it’s worth, the course is a route you can basically run any day of the week, so you don’t need to run this race to have access to the route.

It’s a relatively flat course, although the finish is just uphill enough that you want to punch someone in the face. Especially after running the out and back along Ocean Beach, which is pretty monotonous.

Would I travel for this race? No. It’s not that special. But it’s a fun race that is “flat” by San Francisco standards.
