On Saturday , you will be logging between 6-10 miles depending upon your training level. The link below should give you a relatively clear sense of where we're going.
I've also included a verbal description beneath it:
SATURDAY’S RUN COURSE!
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SATURDAY’S RUN-
We will head SOUTH along the Marina towards the hill by the Marina Safeway. Crest this hill and head down into Aquatic Park. Run along the waterfront into Fisherman's Wharf. You will be on Jefferson.
Please keep a watchful eye for tourists, cyclists, and other traffic in Fisherman's Wharf. Continue running to the intersection of Jefferson/Powell. There is a large GAP store on the right. This is 1.5 miles.
Continue running along Jefferson which will eventually turn into the Embarcadero. At the intersection of Embarcadero & Bay there is a Houston's restaurant on the right. This is 2 MILES. KEEP RUNNING!
Everyone will continue running along the Embarcadero all the way to the MAIN entrance of the Ferry Building. This is 3 MILES.Beginner level runners will turn around here. Head back to the monkey bars for 6 MILES!
Intermediate, Advanced, and Race level runners will continue along the Embarcadero until you reach the intersection of Embarcadero/Harrison! There is a Gordon Biersch on the other side of Embarcadero/Harrison for your visual cue. This is 3.5 MILES! Intermediate runners turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 7 MILES!
Advanced and Race level runners will continue running along the Embarcadero. Right around the time Embarcadero is turning into ‘King Street’ you will come to the intersection of Embarcadero/Townsend. LOOK FOR PIER 38 ON YOUR LEFT! This is 4 MILES! Advanced level runners will turn around and head back to the monkey bars for 8 MILES!
Race level runners will continue running along King Street past AT&T Park (or whatever they call it today). You will run to the intersection of King Street and 4Th Street. This is 4.5 MILES! Turn around and head back to the monkey bars. You need 6 miles at target half marathon pace.
I would suggest starting your target pace at the end of Aquatic Park/edge of Fisherman's Wharf (1 mile into our run) and try to maintain it all the way to King/4th and back to the intersection of Embarcadero/Bay ('Hillstone' restaurant is across the street). Then segue back into comfortable, conversational pace for the balance of your run.
Once you get back to the monkey bars, head NORTH along the Marina to the intersection of Marina & Broderick. This is ½ mile from the monkey bars. Turn around and head back to the monkey bars for 10 MILES!
