Official Ambassadors of The San Francisco Marathon

Each year, a team of Ambassadors represent the San Francisco Marathon in their local running communities. Ambassadors represent a broad range of runners who participate in San Francisco Marathon – from competitive athletes with ambitious goals to amateur runners who run to keep fit and have fun.

San Francisco Marathon is proud to support runners who embody our ethos–the spirit of camaraderie and the pursuit of challenge. To that end, we are looking for ambassadors who positively impact their community by training and competing with heart and integrity. Do you volunteer for races when you are sidelined with an injury? Do you offer an encouraging word to a fellow struggling to make it across the finish line? If so, please apply! We want you to help us bring our running spirit and values to life. We deeply value our ties to our community of runners.
