Earlier today, we provided you with an update to the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Half Marathon, 10K & 5K referencing a modified course option along with a virtual option. We know you may be disappointed (we are too!), but we are committed to provide a race day experience in a safe manner on this very special 40th Anniversary celebration. The modified courses will be on the Great Highway. The race start line will be located in the south end of the Ocean Beach parking lot, near the Lincoln Way intersection. The finish line is in the same location. All race starts will now take place at 8:00am. The 5K will run south on the Great Highway, turning at Pacheco and heading back north to finish. | |||
