Komen San Francisco Race For The Cure® Registration Option

5K Official Chip Timed Run

Along with their bib #, the 5K Official Chip Timed Runners are given a tag containing a microchip to attach to their shoe on Race Day.  Instructions will be enclosed.  Chip-timed runners will start the Race just before the Walkers and non-timed participants on Sunday, September 26 and will recieve an officially recorded time.  You can look on our website within 48 hours of the event for the official results of all chip-timed runners. 

5K Non-timed Run/Walk

Non-timed 5K participants will begin the Race just after the timed runners depart by the Ferry Building and complete the same 5K course as the timed runners.  You many run or walk, but be sure to take in the beautiful scenery along the Embarcadero!  Non-timed participants will receive a bib #, but no timing chip.  Their finish time will not be recorded.

1 Mile Fun Walk

The 1 Mile Fun Walk will begin just after the timed runners depart . Please read the course description below.  The start will be by the Ferry Building, heading in the opposite direction of the Race.....it will head toward Fisherman's Wharf.

Sleep In for the Cure

Do you have plans on Race Day?  Or maybe you just aren't a morning person?  Regardless of the reason, you can still take part and support the fight against breast cancer.  Join the Sleep In for the Cure and we will mail an official Race t-shirt to you! You can still join a team and/or take part in fundraising as a Sleep In participant!  You will not receive a bib #.

Kids for the Cure

Kids ages 6 to 12 can register for only $10 as a Kids for the Cure Participant and will get their very own kid-sized bib # and t-shirt!  They can take part in either the 1 Mile or the 5K course....there is not a seperate course or starting time for the Kids for the Cure participants.  If your child is 5 years old or younger, they do not need to pay a fee on Race Day, but if you would like to claim one of the kids t-shirts for them, they must register for the Kids for the Cure (regardless of whether they are 6 yet or not).  Kid-sized t-shirts start at size Youth Small.

The Course

The 5K Course is 3.1 Miles and starts by the Ferry Building.  The course runs along the Embarcadero, turning around just past the Giants stadium (after crossing the 3rd Street bridge) and heading back to finish where the race began. 

The 1 Mile Course also begins on the Embarcadero, by the Ferry Building, but heads in the oposite direction, toward Fisherman's Wharf. You'll head in that direction for half a mile, before turning around and heading back, to finish where the race began.

Don't forget to stop by the Safeway Food Tent for a post-Race snack!!  The food tent will be in Justin Herman Plaza (across the Embarcadero from the Ferry Building) immediately following the Race.  Water will also be distributed from this location so as not to creat a back log of runners in the street.
