The NWM in San Fran is huge! There were over 30,000 runners in the Half and Full race distances. This race was on my bucket list and the perfect race for a girl's weekend. This race is good if you want a huge group, a lot of fun, lots of girls, and high energy. It's not the race for you if you are looking for a PR in the half or full though.
The Necklace - Instead of a typical finisher's medal each finisher of the Half and Full get's a Tiffany's Necklace! Complete with a fireman handing it to you after you cross the finish line.
The Course - The race is in San Fran so of course it was hilly and hard.
The Swag - the race is a little pricey and you have to buy your own shirts (participant and finisher) but the necklace and experience are totally worth it!
Photos - The Expo and Nike-town both have several perfect photo opportunities as well as the race! Don't forget the hot firemen waiting for you at the finish line!
The Expo - The Expo is small and only has Nike products, which makes sense but don't expect a huge Expo.
Transportation - The race starts downtown and ends at the beach so you have to have a ride or take the shuttle back to downtown to your car or hotel room. Easy to use, just don't forget to buy your shuttle pass.
