What You’ll Experience: Running the full marathon in San Francisco is a thrill! Along the way, you’ll take in:

• Breathtaking views from the Golden Gate Bridge of the San Francisco Bay.
• Iconic parks, areas and neighborhoods including Fisherman’s Wharf, the Marina Green, Crissy Field and Sausalito, Presidio, Golden Gate Park, the Haight St, and the Mission District.
• Up-close views of major league sports stadiums including homes of the Golden State Warriors and the San Francisco Giants.
• Positive energy from Full Marathon spectators at the finish line and along the Bay Bridge.

What You Need to Know: The last Northbound runner (on the East sidewalk) must access the Golden Gate Bridge by 7:40 a.m. and the last Southbound runner (on the West sidewalk from the Dillingham Lot) must access the bridge by 8:50 a.m. This is to ensure that the sidewalks can be reopened to the public.
