Golden Gate Marathon Information
As you view San Francisco tucked behind the rolling green hills of the Marin Headlands, you'll liken the image to Dorothy encountering the Emerald City. One thing's certain...the views this course offers are unlike any other!
DESCRIPTION: Marathon, Half Marathon & 7 Mile
This is a gem of an event! You'll start and finish at Rodeo Beach located at Fort Cronkite in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (west of the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County). Along this scenic trail run through the Marin Headlands, you'll soak in panoramic vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco cityscape and the lush Pacific shoreline peppered with vibrant wildflowers. The course is a combination of single track hiking trails, fire roads, pavement and a beach crossing.
