City Loop SF

Running Route

Moderate

16.12 mi

1,224 ft

For this route we link together some of the most scenic parts of San Francisco to give you one truly epic long run. You will experience the lively atmosphere of Golden Gate Park, the rugged coastline of the Lands End Trail, the crashing waves and stunning Golden Gate Bridge views at Baker Beach, the people-watching scene at Crissy Field, the sweeping views of the bay from Fort Mason, and the eucalyptus and cypress forests of the Presidio. There are plenty of options to either extend or shorten this run. Although this is a city route, surprisingly about half of your run will be on trails. If you want to maximize your trail time, don't miss the trail that runs down the center of the wooded islands between Park Presidio Blvd and Funston Ave. Restroom and water stops are abundant in Golden Gate Park. You will also find them at the Lands End trailhead, Baker Beach, and at the Warming Hut at Crissy Field.
