Weekly Runs & Walks

December | San Francisco Botanical Gardens, Golden Gate Park
Saturday Long Runs starting at 8 am

December 9th – Holiday Party – meet at Jay’s House
9am Short Run
10am Party

Join us for the month of December where we’ll be meeting 8am in front of SF Botanical Gardens main entrance in Golden Gate Park. It’s at 1199 9th Ave, just off Lincoln Way if you need a precise address. Club favorite Tartine is nearby so we can enjoy refreshments post run. If that’s not your thing, there are many other tasty options nearby. Then, stay and hang out with friends and enjoy well earned coffee. Depending on how hilly the route, we generally finish running around 9:45 if you just want to say hi and join us for socializing. Please note: Parking is plentiful at 8am but DO NOT leave any valuables in your car.

There are two route distances, usually a 9-10 miler and a shorter 5-6 miler with maps changing weekly. The running and walking groups all begin at the same time. It’s a tour through urban streets and gardens. We’ll then meet back up after the run/walk for well-earned snacks. It’s a wonderful time to catch up with other members.

Runs commence at 8am but we usually wait a few minutes to give everyone a chance to arrive. If you are new to us, please email so we’ll know to expect you. More information on routes will be posted weekly in the newsfeed.
