Mermaid Run San Francisco
Mermaid Run San Francisco is a multi-distance road running event held at Crissy Field with city and water views. The event includes on-site races and a virtual option that allows participants to complete a chosen distance within a month and receive event swag.
Course options include:
- 5K on a very flat course with waterfront sections.
- 10K that travels into the Presidio and reaches a Pacific Ocean overlook before returning to Crissy Field.
- 10 Mile which crosses the Golden Gate Bridge and follows sections with views of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay.
- Mermaid Dash a short youth dash with a medal, finisher necklace and post-race food. Dash entry fees differ for advance and race weekend registration.
The event provides packet pickup at Sports Basement Sunnyvale and at Crissy Field on the east side; participants must bring photo identification to collect packets. There is a bag drop on race morning and aid stations on course offering water, electrolyte drink, and bars. The event is cupless; participants may purchase or bring a reusable cup. The 10 Mile course enforces an 18 minute per mile pace cutoff. Awards are offered for female participants in overall and age group categories; male participants receive shirts and finisher items but are not eligible for overall or age group awards.
