The Golden Gate Half Marathon offers some of the best scenery of any race out there, in my opinion. It’s hard to top a race that starts you along the shores of the San Francisco Bay and then takes you back and forth across the iconic bridge. The best part of the race for me was after crossing the bridge on the first pass you get to book it down a trail and come up under the bridge to cross over on the other other side. The view from this part of the course is incredible!
Yes, there are hills. Three, as best as I can recall. It is San Francisco, after all.
Scenery aside, I thought the race was well organized. The only area for improvement I’d offer is that they have pace groups set up at the start line, but once the rolling start gets going there were no pacers to be found. I found this to be a bit confusing.
I’ve done this race 2 years in a row now and hope to keep it an annual tradition!
