| I love running in San Francisco, even with all the hills! Cool weather, great course, great views, and cute firemen handing out the Tiffany necklaces :) Expo/Niketown crowded with long lines, so I tried not to stay too long. Ran this as a fun run after the Portland Marathon, so took advantage of all the fun stuff along the course. |

| I love this race..lots of hills though..great necklace at the finish |
|
| |
| It is a lot of climbing but the scenery and the people were an awesome inspiration. |
|
| |
| great scenic course breathtaking views and hills.did this race with TNT, we raised 18.5 million for the leukemia and lymphoma society.everything from the prerace pasta party to the post race celebration was excellent! |
|
| |
| Beautiful scenery. Finish line on the beach was great.Love the Tiffany pendant.Had hotel at fisherman's wharf,had very hard time getting transportation to the start of race.Roads were closed due to race, so no taxi service.Grouped with other stranded runners who couldn't get a taxi,we stopped a stranger who was driving a van and talked him into giving us a ride to the start.If not for that guy, we would not have made it to start line in time. |

| Beautiful, beautiful course but roads far too narrow for number of runners; density of crowd never spread out. Expo only about Nike. |
|
| |
| Awesome! Excellent crowd support, great post race festivities. And the Tiffiany necklace! |
|
| |
| Once again a wonderful event. The weather was spectacular and the Tiffany necklaces are beautiful! |
|
| |
| Great views and the hills were a nice challenge. I liked all the race gear and clothes that were made for the race. Tiffany's necklaces weren't too bad either!! :) |
|
| |
| too beautiful for a PR (ran with my buddies). Expo was good, more technical than most. Met Joan Benoit Samuelson who also ran the half (very cool)! |
|
| |
| ...and i thought i trained on hills...
Awesome course. Great views. And some hunk in a tux handing out pretty blue boxes at the finish line. |
|
| |
| Golden Gate Bridge. Smell of eucalyptus. |
|
| |
| For a large race it got of fairly well. The course was hilly but fun in a weird twisted way! |
|
| |
| The necklaces were awesome. |
|
| |
| Expo is still very small and should be improved...a trip to the NikeTown store is not an expo!!!! Tiffany necklace is very nice this year. The weather was much better than last. |
|
| |
| Gotta love the fact that it's a Women's Race. The apparel etc. associated with it is all awesome and of course the Tiffany necklaces are a huge hit but the expo is pretty bad - there's nothing there. The course is hilly but has some great views. |
|
| |
| Great. Some HUGE hills... at least for someone like me from Florida!! The necklace is beautiful!
|
|
| |
| Beautiful scenery for my very first race! |
|
| |
| Did the full marathon. This was an awesome race. The hills were a little challenging. I was a bit disappointed that the expo was so small. The finishers necklace and the dri-fit finishers shirt are great. |
|
| |
| This race was so much fun, the course is pretty easy with one tough hill. Tiffanys necklaces are so cute! Hard to have a PR on this course because you want to stop and hang out at all of the stations along the way. Definitely recommend this race! |

Just ran it on Sunday,Oct 23, 2005. Absolutely beautiful scenic tour of San Francisco, misty cool weather, hills and downhills. Would do it again with more hill training!
|
|
| |
| Great course! Very scenic - you run by the piers, pass the Golden Gate Bridge, through a beautiful residential area, and into the Golden Gate Park. A number of hill steep inclines along the way, but come on, it's San Francisco! And don't forget men in tuxedo's handing you a Tiffany & Co. necklace as you cross the finish line. |
|
| |
| This was an awesome race. The hills were still a little more than advertised :) I was a bit disappointed that the expo was so small. The finishers necklace kicks butt this year as does the dri-fit finishers shirt. Next year...I'm taking a group of ladies to this race. Next year....I hope the fog lifts early so that you can actually see the beautiful surrounding. |
|
| |
| This is a wonderful race. The hills are brutal, but they have taken them out for this year. The men in tuxedos at the finish line holding the Tiffany boxes were a wonderful site! Tiffany is designing the medals again this year. |
|
| |
| I ran this race in 2004, but did the full marathon. Big hills, but pretty scenery! |
|
| |
| I ran this race Oct 24th, 2004. Phenomenal race, would do it again in a heartbeat. Don't forget to train for those hills! |
|
| |
| beautiful course; i walked the full marathon |
|
| |
| Beautiful race. I walked it with some friends and really enjoyed the day. |
|
| |
| (2004) The hills were INSANE, but the view from the top is worth it! It looked right out over the Golden Gate! Running through Presidio was a pretty unique experience, and the finshers T-shirts (light blue, Nike dri-fit) and medals (Tiffany's |
