Great Highway Lands End 10K

Lace up for an unforgettable journey along San Francisco's iconic coastline at the Great Highway Lands End 10K on June 28, 2026. This captivating 10K race promises a stunning blend of ocean vistas and rugged natural beauty, starting and finishing conveniently at Taraval Street near the Great Highway. Runners will embark on a scenic adventure, tracing the Ocean Beach Promenade and passing historic landmarks like the (former) Cliff House and the ruins of Sutro Baths, all while soaking in breathtaking views of the majestic Golden Gate Bridge and picturesque Baker Beach.

What makes this race truly special is the unique course that takes advantage of the transformed Great Highway, with a two-mile stretch now a car-free coastal park known as "Sunset Dunes," offering an uninterrupted and expansive running path along the Pacific.
