SF Runs - Celebrating and Supporting Running in the Bay Area

View this email in your browser

Hello Runners,

I've returned from a great experience at the Boston Marathon! After the race I visited New York and DC and had an inspiring run where I saw the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and other national landmarks. I've posted some photos on Instagram

Congratulations to everyone who participated in recent local races including the Presidio 10. There is some exciting news in this week's newsletter. Enjoy the great weather and happy running!

Best,Leonard[email protected]
