Experience the Victory Half Marathon, 10K, or 5K along San Francisco's scenic Bay Trail. This race honors the spirit of those who worked tirelessly during World War II to ensure victory, much like the dedicated women and men who built ships and assembled vehicles in nearby factories. The journey begins at the historic Craneway Pavilion, a site rich with wartime history. Runners will enjoy breathtaking views as they traverse the flat and fast Bay Trail, offering expansive vistas of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridges, and Mt. Tamalpais. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a beginner looking to set personal records, this course is designed for all levels. For those who wish to hike the half marathon route and anticipate taking more than 4 hours, we offer an early start at 7:30 am as part of the "Hiker Division." Please carry water if you plan on starting so early; first-aid stations may not be fully operational. Hikers will receive a separate finisher medal but are ineligible for race awards. All participants, including walkers and hikers, can look forward to custom finisher medals and shirts – both cotton and technical options available. Age group awards will go to the top three runners in 5-year categories (with fewer age groups recognized for younger racers). The half marathon starts at 8:00 am, followed by the 10K at 8:15 am and the 5K at 8:30 am. Every race is professionally chip-timed to ensure accurate results. Dive into this unique event that combines historical significance with a runner-friendly course. Discover more about the Victory Ships and Craneway Pavilion’s rich wartime legacy as you run through San Francisco's beautiful surroundings.

About Richmond
Learn more about the host city, Richmond.
Though it was a booming industrial center during World War II, the subsequent decades were not kind to Richmond, California. After the war, deindustrialization hit hard. The shipyards closed. Desperation set in. A reputation for violent crime kept visitors away.
