Welcome to the Golden Gate Running Club of San Francisco!
The Golden Gate Running Club is a group of runners in San Francisco, California with a whole host of running abilities — we run the gamut. Club members compete in adventure races, marathons, relays, 10Ks, and triathlons, to name just a few. Not competitive? Many of our members just enjoy running once or twice a week, for either the fitness or the enjoyment of it.
Come join us for our Sunday morning runs at the Warming Hut near the fishing pier at the western end of Crissy Field (we have a 10 am start so one may fully enjoy the previous evening) followed by our customary brunch thereafter. Two groups leave at this time, a short course (about 5 miles) and a long course (up to 12 miles). We modify runs, pace, and distance to fit the runners present. Wednesday night we host a coached track workout at Kezar Stadium, meeting at the southeast corner of the track at 7p.m. Runners of all ability levels participate in this as well.
We run hard and we play hard. Members have placed very highly in many events in the state and nation. In a recent group relay (Hood to Coast — lots of fun!), we placed 23rd in a field of 283. We're a supportive and encouraging group of runners. We hold no expectations of ability; group runs have a "no drop" rule. During races, we place more emphasis on completing the event with no injuries and having fun than getting the "medal". If you're looking for a low-stress running club, to have fun, exercise, and meet new people, this is the club for you. Come join us for a run and check us out. We would love to meet you!
For more information, see Who We Are, or join our Google or Facebook Group and watch for emails. Hope to see you out there!

Banquet sales end Friday!
Hey party people!
A number of you have asked me to resend the banquet evite, so here it is: http://new.evite.com/#view_invite:eid=00E9NC2ZTL7RSYASMEPBKOXFDUYYWA.
Over 30 people have signed up so far, and several more paid for their tickets today at Sunday run, so we’re going to have a great showing! Buy your ticket TODAY, ticket sales close FRIDAY. Follow the instructions in the evite (or Holly’s email below), or bring $65 in cash/check to track on Wednesday. Your ticket includes a catered buffet dinner, UNLIMITED beer and wine for 4 hours, dancing, awards, awesome raffle prizes, and a hilarious slideshow, all at an amazing PRIVATE venue (www.projectonegallery.com ). I’ve attached a couple photos of the venue. More are available on the website.
Are you a new member who’s worried about not knowing many people there? Well don’t be! Banquet is a fantastic way to meet people and become more involved in the club. You won’t regret it!
As a reminder, while +1′s are more than welcome (as long as you pay for them), you do NOT need a date to attend. The majority of people actually go solo (I will be one of them!), and everyone has a blast. Who knows, you might even meet that special someone there
Can’t wait to dance the night away with all of you! As always, feel free to email me with any questions.
Cheers,
Erin
