This race kicks off in Downtown San Francisco at Union Square and heads through the financial district past the famous TransAmerica building, along the San Francisco Bay past Fisherman's Wharf, Aquatic Park, Ghirardelli Square, Fort Mason and Marina Green while exposing breathtaking views of Alcatraz and The Golden Gate Bridge. The course then travels through the Presidio and Sea Cliff district, out to the Great Highway, through Golden Gate Park and south along Lake Merced, finishing just north of the Great Highway along the Pacific Ocean.

You'll enjoy these beautiful visuals - along with live music on the course. And don't worry: there are no "cable car hills" on The Nike Women's Marathon course!
