Celebrating our 9th anniversary in 2019
Thank YOU for making this possible
Please note that due to Hambright Bridge being closed our course is slightly different again this year. See "Course Map" download for details. This year (2019) our course will be the SAME as in 2018 (even if the road opens) - this is for safety purposes and feedback we received last year from our runners.
