Community Outreach

The San Francisco Marathon and West End Management (race producer) are committed to providing needed resources and services to community organizations. Whether it is through our Cause to Run Fundraising Program, shoe donations, food donations, volunteer support, or even shirt donations - we want to make a difference!

• Donate old race shirts to the Community Youth Sport Association in Lusaka, Zambia through FlipFlopFoundation (a Cause to Run organization).
• Supply and volunteer at a water station for Sunday Streets in San Francisco.
