Balboa Park

Within its 1,200 lush acres lies miles of trails for running and walking alike. With many sights along the way, Balboa Park is a perfect place to combine a pre-race workout with some sightseeing!

Embarcadero/Harbor Island

A pancake-flat path that starts behind the Convention Center and follows a concrete path through Seaport Village, Cruise Ship Terminal, Coast Guard Station, Star of India and loops around Harbor Island. A great choice for a flat, easy run.
