The 2nd Half Marathon course is USATF-certified. What You’ll Experience: The 2nd Half “City” Marathon is a local favorite as it winds through iconic city neighborhoods and finishes at the official San Francisco Marathon Finish Line—and with a later start time and faster route, runners have more time to take in the festivities! This unique and memorable route is packed with experiences, including:
- Crissy Field with the Golden Gate Bridge so close you can almost touch it.
- Refreshing Bay breezes with Eucalyptus in the air – a constant while running marathons in San Francisco.
- Picturesque views of the Sea Cliff neighborhood with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop.
- Golden Gate park and the iconic Haight Street.
- Historic Mission District and the newly developed Mission Bay District.
- Up-close views of major league sports stadiums including homes of the Golden State Warriors and the San Francisco Giants.
- Positive energy from spectators at the finish line and along the Bay Bridge.
