Embrace the refreshing ocean air and stunning coastal vistas at the Sunset Dunes parkrun, a vibrant weekly 5K event held on Saturday, February 21, 2026, in San Francisco, CA. This unique parkrun transforms a two-mile stretch of the former Great Highway into a car-free promenade, offering participants a truly unparalleled running experience along Ocean Beach. It's a free, fun, and friendly community gathering, perfect for runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities looking to kickstart their weekend.

The 5K course is a single out-and-back design, renowned for its remarkably flat and fast asphalt surface, making it ideal for chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll with breathtaking Pacific Ocean scenery. As you navigate the paved path next to restored dunes and native plants, you'll be treated to panoramic views that, on a clear day, can extend to the Marin Headlands and beyond. The wide roadway provides ample space, ensuring an enjoyable experience whether you're pushing your pace or soaking in the surroundings alongside fellow park users.

Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant highs around 61F and lows near 48F, with only a 16% chance of precipitation, providing excellent weather for a coastal run. The event starts at the north end of Sunset Dunes Park, near Judah Street and Great Highway, and provides access to restrooms and water. After your effort, extend the community spirit by joining fellow parkrunners for a post-event coffee at the nearby Java Beach Café.
