| What Race Is In San Francisco Today |
But Wait, There's More! (Than Just One Race)
That's right, buster, San Francisco is a city that loves a good challenge. Today, you might have your pick of:
- The Race to Cure Sarcoma: This one's all about supporting a good cause and getting your sweat on for a worthy 5K.
- Crissy Field 5K: Breathtaking views and a chance to outrun that seagull who keeps stealing your fries? Sign. Me. Up.
- Shannon Rowbury's Mother's Day Fun Run/Runch: Show Mom you appreciate all those burnt cookies from childhood with a celebratory jog (or, ahem, "runch" with bottomless mimosas at the finish line).
Feeling overwhelmed by all these speedy options? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here's a handy dandy (and completely unofficial) guide to picking your perfect race:
- Need a scenic route that won't break the bank? Crissy Field 5K is your jam.
- Want to support a good cause and feel good about yourself? Race to Cure Sarcoma is calling your name.
- Looking for an excuse to day-drink with Mom in a cute running outfit? Shannon's got your back (and your mimosa glass).
Just remember, folks, safety first! These races are all about having fun and getting some exercise, not reenacting a scene from the Olympics (unless you're secretly an Olympian, then by all means, go for gold!).
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.

P.S. If you're worried about missing out on all the delicious food San Francisco has to offer while you're busy running, fear not! Most of these races have post-race festivities with snacks and drinks. Just don't blame us if you end up carbo-loading more than you race-loading.
