The classic San Francisco run: along the bay at Crissy Field, up to the Golden Gate Bridge, across it and back — about 5 miles with the bridge towering over you.
The route
- Distance: about 5.0 miles from Crissy Field, over the bridge and back.
- Terrain: flat bay path, then a climb up to the bridge; the bridge itself is 1.7 miles across.
- Shorter option: run Crissy Field to Fort Point and back.
Tips
- Bring a layer — fog and wind on the bridge are real.
- Use the side of the bridge open to pedestrians that day.
- Go early for fewer crowds.
