Hark the Herald Half Marathon & 10K
The Hark the Herald Half Marathon & 10K takes place on Angel Island State Park, Belvedere Tiburon, California, on December 12, 2026. The event uses a hilly loop trail that circumnavigates Angel Island and offers panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, Alcatraz Island, the East Bay and Marin County. The 10K follows a single loop of about 6.5 miles. The Half Marathon completes that loop twice. The field is limited to 400 participants and race pricing includes the ferry fee and processing fee.
