Race Highlights
Our 5K runs through miles of waterfront that draw millions of visitors each year. Take in views of the Bay, the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, Coit Tower and much more. Runners enjoy San Francisco’s iconic backdrop while earning a spot at the finish line festival in front of the Ferry Building. Our 5K Race invites runners of all levels to experience our fast, flat course and participate in the finish line celebration.
Join Us For The Doggy Distance
There was a change to our dog rules (which surely means some exciting news for those of you who are pup parents)! We’re opening up our Sunday 5K race to our runners’ canine companions; in other words, your doggo is welcome to run this race distance with you!
Of course, to keep everyone happy and healthy, we had to put in place a few rules in order to guarantee everybody a race experience as great as it can be. To help us ensure safety on the course, we kindly ask that you follow these three simple rules:
- Please consider how your dog interacts with other people and dogs. If you’re not 100% sure about how your dog will react to your fellow runners and other dogs, please leave them at home and enjoy a run with them another time. Please note that you’re expected to stay toward the end of the pack and to clean up after your pet.
- If your pup is coming with you, please keep their leash as short as possible AT ALL TIMES, not just when you see or run with other participants.
- Your doggo needs to stay leashed during the whole event while on-site.
We will have doggy aid stations at the finish line with plenty of water for the brave, victorious doggos! Race registration for your four-legged friend(s) is free; they can just show up and run.
Please note that at this time, the race is open only to dogs. We’re sure that your cat might be a sprinter and your parrot might love flying along but for the safety of everyone, enjoy their company during your shake-out run rather than during the main event.
