Description

Run for a Cause: Every Step Makes a Difference!

The Presidio Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K Fun Run & Walk is more than just a race—it’s a chance to change a child’s life. Hosted by The Guardsmen, a San Francisco based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, this event isn't just about the breathtaking views of the Presidio and the Golden Gate Bridge—this event raises crucial funds to provide underserved Bay Area youth with outdoor adventures and educational opportunities.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a scenic run through the Presidio and Golden Gate Bridge, your participation directly supports local kids in need. Cross the finish line knowing you've made a difference—and celebrate with a well-earned pancake breakfast, drinks, and a lively post-race expo.
