For 10K runners, a short stretch along the Promenade will take you to the climb up to the bridge and to the start of the Coastal Trail. The trail hugs the Pacific coastline with a short diversion through historic defense batteries before dropping down to Baker Beach . Runners will hit the beach and turn left and follow the ribbons to the South Baker Beach parking lot and the aid station. And then it's simply back the way you came, right? Well, not exactly. We're throwing in a trip up the notorious Sand Ladder for good measure. At the top of the ladder, you'll rejoin the Coastal Trail and from that point, you head back the way you came to the Promenade and the finish at East Crissy Field.
5K runners will run along the Promenade to the historical Ft. Point where you will slap the fort and then retrace your route back to the finish at East Crissy Field. This new 5K run is flat and FAST with incomparable views of the Golden Gate and Alcatraz Island every step of the way. |
