Wednesday's Golden Gate Park Run

We will actually be launching from the top of the staircase that leads down to the ballfield and heading WEST on Martin Luther King. This course will follow Martin Luther King for the first 2 miles out.

Continue running on the paved path on the RIGHT side of MLK towards the direction of 19th Avenue. Once you reach the intersection of MLK and 19th Ave, wait for the light to turn green and head straight across and continue running on the paved path on the RIGHT side of MLK.

Once you reach the paved path on the other side of the intersection, you will have logged 1 MILE. Look for chalk indicating 'MM 2'.Beginner runners will turn around here and head back for 2 MILES!

Everyone else will get on the sidewalk on the LEFT side of Transverse and head NORTH towards Golden Gate Park. Continue following Transverse Drive until it intersects with JFK. Get on the LEFT side of JFK and run EAST into Golden Gate Park.

Roughly half a mile after the initial turn onto Transverse towards Golden Gate Park you will reach the intersection of JFK/Stow Lake Drive. This is 1.5 MILES. There will also be a 'MM3' in chalk here. Intermediate runners will turn around here and head back for a total of 3 MILES!

Everyone else will continue running along the sidewalk on the left side of JFK. Roughly half a mile later you will see the De Young Museum approaching on your RIGHT. Directly across from the De Young Museum is a pedestrian crosswalk near JFK/10th AVE. This is 2 MILES. Look for a 'MM4' in chalk on the ground. Advanced runners will turn around here and head back for a total of 4 MILES!

Race level runners will continue running along the sidewalk on the left side of JFK. Roughly half a mile later you will pass JFK/Observatory Way. Look to your left and you will see a large white building. This is the Flower Observatory. Once you are directly across from the Flower Observatory, you will have logged 2.5 MILES. Look for a 'MM5' in chalk on the ground. Race level runners turn around here and head back for 5 MILES!
