1. Year in Review

Thanks to everyone who made Season 4 (2019) a memorable year at SF Runs. We hosted more than 40 community runs and members achieved many milestones while having fun along the way! We recently published a "Year In Review" video featuring snapshots from 2019, which you can view on Instagram.

2. Season 5 Launch on January 14

SF Runs will launch Season 5 of our community running program on Tuesday, January 14. If you haven't run with SF Runs previously this is a great time to start! More details and RSVP via Facebook or Meetup.

Our community running program provides group runs on the Embarcadero on Tuesdays @ 6:20 pm and occasional "Special Edition" runs in other locations. Our Tuesday runs start/finish at the SF Runs office, located at Pier 26 on the Embarcadero (the pier directly under the Bay Bridge). All paces and newcomers are always welcome at SF Runs!

3. Relief Run: Supporting Australia Fire Relief Efforts

The running community is coming together to support relief efforts for the fires in Australia. The Relief Run is a virtual run to raise funds for the Australian Red Cross. Thousands of runners worldwide will be participating in this event. To support this effort we will be collecting donations for the Relief Run at our run on January 14th. If you can't attend our run, you can donate or register directly on the Relief Run website.
