Lace up your shoes for the Sunset Dunes parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event held on March 28, 2026, in picturesque San Francisco, CA. This free, weekly gathering offers an invigorating start to your Saturday, welcoming runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities. Typical race day conditions in late March bring comfortable highs around 62°F and lows near 50°F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation.

The flat and fast out-and-back course unfolds along a paved asphalt promenade within Sunset Dunes Park, a remarkable transformation of what was once the Great Highway.

The start and finish are conveniently located near the intersection of Judah Street and the Great Highway. Runners appreciate the accessible, smooth surface, making it an ideal spot for personal bests or a relaxed coastal stroll.

Sunset Dunes parkrun carries on a cherished San Francisco tradition, offering a friendly and supportive atmosphere where participants often gather for a post-run coffee at Java Beach Café. Public restrooms and water fountains are available within the park for convenience. This unique course, with its stunning Pacific backdrop and welcoming community spirit, provides a truly memorable experience, making it a standout event on the San Francisco running calendar.
