About the race
The San Francisco Women's Run is a road running event with on-site and virtual participation options. Distances offered include:
- 5K
- 10K
- 10 Mile
- Mermaid Youth 1.5 Mile Dash
The 10 Mile course crosses the Golden Gate Bridge and offers views of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. The 10K route goes into the Presidio and reaches a Pacific Ocean overlook before returning to Crissy Field. The 5K is described as very flat. The Mermaid Dash is a short youth race that includes a medal, finisher necklace, and post-race food; the dash entry fee does not include a race shirt.
The event start, finish, and expo are located on the east side of Crissy Field. Packet pickup is available on Thursday at Sports Basement in Sunnyvale, on Saturday at Crissy Field (far east side), and on race morning at Crissy Field; athletes must bring photo identification to collect packets. There is an optional Mail My Packet service for an additional fee. Parking information lists several free and paid lots in the Marina and Presidio areas, and two ride-share drop-off locations near the start.
Event services include cupless hydration (bring or purchase a reusable cup), aid stations with water, electrolyte drink, and bars, a bag drop tent, chip timing with bib-mounted chips, and awards for female participants by overall and age group. The 10 Mile has an 18-minute-per-mile pace cutoff. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
