Saturday’s Course Map
Here's a verbal description as well:
Everyone will head NORTH along the Marina towards the Warming Hut. Upon reaching the Warming Hut (roughly 2 miles), you will run past the Warming Hut and take an IMMEDIATE left to head towards LONG AVENUE. Long Avenue is effectively a short hill that heads up towards Lincoln.
Everyone will head up Long Avenue along the shoulder until you reach a stop sign. This is LINCOLN. Take a right on to the paved cyclist/pedestrian path and follow this path to your right. Stick to this path as it heads towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Make sure that you are on this path and NOT on Lincoln. You do not want to be running on Lincoln for this course.
You will follow the path for roughly 1/2-3/4 of a mile. There will be a few points at which the path may fork, but stick to the MAIN path. You will soon see the Golden Gate Bridge approaching.
You will reach a point where you can continue running and run underneath the bridge or take a hairpin LEFT and wind your way up to the pedestrian side of the bridge. You want to do the LATTER and turn left and head onto the pedestrian side of the bridge. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! THERE ARE TYPICALLY A REASONABLE NUMBER OF TOURISTS WHO AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION. BE SMART AND BE POLITE IF YOU NEED TO GET AROUND SOMEONE.
Continue running on the pedestrian side of the bridge until you reach the SECOND PILLAR/TIER OF THE BRIDGE. This is 4 MILES! Beginners will turn around here and head back to the Monkey bars for 8 MILES!
Everyone else will continue to the end of the bridge to the Visitor Center. This is 4.5 MILES. Stop here to grab some water, use the restroom, and/or take a gel, clif shot, etc. Everyone will turn around here and return to the monkey bars. Intermediate runners will stop upon return to the monkey bars for 9 MILES!
Advanced and Race level runners will continue running SOUTH along the Marina towards our favorite hill by the Marina Safeway. You will crest the hill and continue running. Advanced level runners will run just to the point where the road starts to dip down towards Aquatic Park. This is 9.5 MILES. Turn around here and return to the monkey bars for 10 MILES!
Race level runners will run into Aquatic Park and into Fisherman's Wharf. As always, beware of tourists! You will be running on Jefferson and continue until you get to the intersection of Jefferson/Powell. This is 10.5 MILES. Return to the monkey bars for 12 MILES!

Saturday (6/19) Course Description
We will run a lengthy stretch along the Great Highway FIRST and get our remaining mileage in Golden Gate Park LAST. You will be logging between 8-11 miles depending upon your training level.
Here is a map link for the course-
Great Highway/Golden Gate Park Route
Here is a description of our course:
Everyone will head SOUTH from the Beach Chalet on the paved path running along the Great Highway. Everyone will run ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE GREAT HIGHWAY! The intersection of Great Highway and SLOAT is the end of the Great Highway.
There’s a controlled intersection here and the paved path effectively ends. This is a 2.35 mile stretch. If you need to use the restroom and/or grab a drink of water you will need to cross the street and head WEST over to the rest area (this will be clear once you get there).
Turn around and head back to the Beach Chalet. This is admittedly a challenging stretch as it seems to go on FOREVER!
Once you get back to the Beach Chalet, you will have 4.7 miles under your belt. Again, feel free to stop, knock back a gel and/or some water, use the restroom, etc.before you head into Golden Gate Park for your remaining mileage.
Head NORTH from the Beach Chalet and promptly take a right turn to get onto JFK. You will run along the dirt path for about a half a mile until you come to a stop sign. Turn LEFT at this stop sign at the pedestrian crosswalk onto the dirt path running along JFK. I will try to put some chalk down at this intersection indicating where to go.
You will continue running along this path for some time. As you close in on the first mile you will see the 'Bison Paddock' on your left. Shortly after you pass the paddock, you will see Lake Spreckles on the left.
If you need water, cross the pedestrian crosswalk over to Lake Spreckles and you will see the water fountain on your left.
Continue running on the dirt path. A half a mile later, look for a FF 8 in white ‘flour’ on the dirt path in front of you. Additionally, look over to the right (and downhill) and you will see a rest area/water fountains.
Lastly, look for a FF 8 in chalk on the road to your left. Beginner runners will turn around here and head back to the Beach Chalet for 8 MILES! Admittedly, there aren’t a lot of great visual cues for this turn around, so keep your eyes peeled for the flour/chalk markings!
Everyone else will continue running along the dirt path towards JFK/Transverse. This is roughly 2 miles from the Beach Chalet. If you cross over to the LEFT side of JFK, you will find another water fountain.
Continue running on the RIGHT side of the dirt path past JFK/Transverse for another 200 meters are so. KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR A PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND A ‘FF 9’ IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PATH! Intermediate level runners will turn around here and head back to the Beach Chalet for 9 MILES!
Advanced/Race level runners will continue running on the right side of JFK. Roughly half a mile from the aforementioned crosswalk and ‘FF9’ you will see DeYoung Museum coming up on your RIGHT. It’s kind of a funky looking building, hard to miss.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR A PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND A ‘FF 10’ IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PATH! Advanced level runners will turn around here and head back to the Beach Chalet for 10 MILES!
Race level runners will pass De Young Museum and eventually see the Flower Observatory appear on the left. You are close to the turn around for 11 miles. JFK soon intersects with ‘Middle Drive’.
Right at this intersection you will find a ‘FF 11’ in chalk on the ground. Turn around here and head back to the Beach Chalet for 11 MILES!

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!

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!

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!
