San Francisco running races

This selection uses the recorded event city of San Francisco, not a broad Bay Area radius. Check the precise start and finish before arranging transport. The two San Francisco Marathon half-marathon routes remain separate choices.

7 recorded distance events across 4 race families. This selection covers 2026-10-12 through 2027-10-12 (end date excluded), a 12-month planning window reviewed 2026-10-12. It is a growing selection, not a complete calendar or a promise of entry availability.

Dates below come from recorded source snapshots, not a fresh organizer check on the page-review date. Some checks are overdue. Search current upcoming races before making plans.

Before committing to a race

  1. Check the exact edition and route. Same-day distances may have different starts and cutoffs.
  2. Confirm current entry availability and the full checkout price with the organizer. Unknown prices are not free entries.
  3. Check packet pickup, transport to the start, course limits and any route-specific restrictions.
  4. Save two or three options in race discovery to compare supported facts. Missing evidence is not a negative rating.
