San Francisco Women's Run
San Francisco Women's Run is a multi-distance running event centered at Crissy Field with courses that access the Presidio, the Pacific Ocean overlook, and the Golden Gate Bridge. The in-person event is held in San Francisco; a virtual option runs over a specified week and allows participants one month to complete their chosen distance or to complete all distances as a Trifecta.
Distances offered
- 5K: flat course at Crissy Field with bay views
- 10K: course goes up into the Presidio and out to a Pacific Ocean overlook
- 10 Mile: the only distance that crosses the Golden Gate Bridge; view-focused course with a time limit of 18 minutes per mile
- Mermaid Dash: youth dash with medal, finisher necklace and post-race food
Logistics include scheduled packet pickup at Sports Basement Sunnyvale and at Crissy Field on the weekend; athletes must bring photo identification to collect packets. There is an optional Mail My Packet service for an additional fee, not available within 14 days of the event. A bag drop tent is provided on race morning.
The event is cupless; reusable cups are encouraged. Aid stations provide water, electrolyte drink, and bars; gels are not served due to park rules but may be carried and wrappers must be disposed of at aid stations. Strollers are permitted on the 5K and 10K (start near back) but are not allowed on the 10 Mile course. Awards are given to female participants overall and by age group; winners must be present at the awards ceremony to collect awards. Results and race photos are posted after the event.
