Registration

2008 Registration is now open!  Register now for the lowest rates.

Registration Steps:

  1. Add info@runsfm.com to your email address book so you will ensure receipt of your registration confirmation.
  2. Register for one of the RunSFM events: Full Marathon, 1st or 2nd Half Marathon, 5K, Progressive Marathon
  3. Join a team – either Cause to Run and raise $ for a great cause, or a friends/family/fun team (join a team during the registration process, or by logging in to your personal page after you have registered)
  4. Reserve your hotel room!  Hotel rooms fill quickly, especially since it is summertime – so book your hotel room early.
  5. Pick up your bib, timing chip and goody bag at the Race Expo on August 1st and 2nd.

Wear Your Number:  RunSFM has partnered with WearYourNumber.com - runners can purchase a technical shirt with your bib number printed on it. No more fly away numbers! Dress in comfort for your race. To order your shirt with pre-printed bib number on it, go to www.WearYourNumber.com, and select The San Francisco Marathon or The San Francisco Half Marathon events.

IMPORTANT:  To prevent our emails, and your registration email confirmation, from being banished to never-never-land, please add info@runsfm.com to your address book or safe sender lists.  In return we promise to be judicious in our communications and not bombard you with unnecessary emails.
