Victory - Half Marathon, 10K and 5K
The Victory race in Richmond, California is scheduled for February 2027. It includes a half marathon, a 10K and a 5K that start at the historic Craneway Pavilion and run along the San Francisco Bay Trail.
All distances follow the bay shoreline and provide views of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge and Mt. Tamalpais. The courses are described as flat and fast, making them appropriate for runners pursuing a personal record or those new to road racing.
The event is named in recognition of the area’s World War II industrial history. Hundreds of ships were built at nearby shipyards, including 142 Victory ships, and a local assembly plant was converted to wartime vehicle production. The Red Oak Victory ship remains at the site as a historical vessel.
Additional event features include free photos provided by volunteer photographers and published race results. A related Breeze to Victory Double pairs this race with a second bayside run two weeks later; participants who complete both receive a combined "mega" medal composed of each race’s finisher medal plus a special middle medal.
