Course
Each lap is 1.067 miles (clockwise) around the lagoon at Crissy Field with spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, Alcatraz and the San Francisco Bay. The course is flat with 60% dirt and 40% asphalt path. (Distances are accurately measured using a Rolatape® surveyor's measuring wheel.)
The course isn’t lighted and we recommend having a flashlight available at night. Crissy Field is open and a flashlight might not be necessary if it is a clear night.
Friends and/or family members are welcome to run some laps during the event to share in your experience. “Pacing” isn’t allowed. Generally, we want your achievement at SF One Day (distance and/or place) to be a solo effort.
No dogs allowed on the course. Please don't leave pets in your vehicle.
Transponder Timing
Each lap will be recorded using a timing transponder. Please wear the neoprene bracelet on your ankle for the transponder to be detected.
Runners need to complete the full lap to receive credit for the distance. For those attempting to qualify for Western States, you'll need to complete 47 laps in 11 hours.
Aid Station
Fully-stocked, self-serve aid station every lap. You can expect fresh fruit, salty snacks, assorted candy, boiled potatoes & salt, chicken soup, water, soda, and Clif Shot Electrolyte sports drink.
The park doesn’t allow private tents or extra tables. Chairs and coolers are acceptable. We’ll have at least one 10’x10’ tent for runners to use.
