There is NO Race Day Packet Pick-Up. All Half Marathon, Relay, 10K, and 5K participants MUST attend packet pick-up to pick-up their Race Packets unless you opted to have your Race Packet mailed when you registered. Participants will receive their bib, timing chip, race shirt, and sweats drop off bag. Please bring the following items to the Race Expo to pick up your packet:

*If you are unable to personally make it to packet pickup, you may have a fellow runner/friend/family member pick up your bib for you. They will need a printed copy of your confirmation email with your bib and wave number and a copy of your photo ID.

Go Far Run Group

We are the Go Far Run Group! This run group is for anyone looking to meet new friends, train with a great group of people, and have fun while running (or walking)! We typically have speed workouts on Wednesday and long runs on Sunday. We also meet socially outside of workouts to celebrate being awesome!

If you want to Go Far, run together.

Mission Atletica

Changing lives in Guatemala, one pair of running shoes at a time

Mission Atletica is an award winning non-profit organization that has been recognized for its humanitarian efforts by the Marin County Human Rights Commission and the Consul General of Guatemala in San Francisco. Edgar and his team of volunteers now collect running shoes from individuals, charitable organizations, retailers and manufacturers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

About 40 percent of the shoes we collect are suitable for reuse by runners in Guatemala. The average Guatemalan is shorter and smaller than the average American, so donated shoes that are too large (about 10%) are given to charitable organizations to sell to their customers. The remainder are not suitable for reuse and are given to Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe program.
