As participants progress throughout the course, they will pass through nine neighborhoods, each with distinctive personalities, geography and landmarks. The course is designed to deepen your love and appreciation for the city. Start point at San Francisco Bay, blocks from The Embarcadero, running west through the city. Finishing at the Great Highway where breakers crash onto the Pacific Coast’s Ocean Beach." The LightHouse has a goal to create a centipede for this race. A centipede is a group of 13 or more who race together. Let's make the LightHouse shine bright through the city of San Fransisco on May 19th! Are you in? RSVP deadline is April 22nd.
