Loyal Runners

The San Francisco Marathon appreciates its runners who participate year after year. Our Loyal Runner program awards an exclusive gift to runners who have run with us two or more years consecutively, see Loyal Runner Awards below for commemorative gifts.

Also, if you have run with us twice, consecutively or not, in the last 10 years (since 2010) then an extra medal awaits you this year too! This qualifies you for a Loyal medal only, it does not qualify you for the Loyal Runner Awards stated below. 

Eligibility Rules

• Runners who have finished any combination of The San Francisco Marathon events (Ultramarathon, Full Marathon, 1st Half Marathon, 2nd Half Marathon, or 5k) 2 or more times consecutively will be honored as a Loyal Runner.
• Runners must pick up their prize at the Expo on the year that they qualify. We will not be able to ship your prizes out.
