About the Hallo-Thanks-Mas Dash - 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon
The course runs out and back along the waterfront at Embarcadero Marina Park South, with open paths shared by other park users throughout. The route is flat and stays close to the water, so the scenery carries you. Turns are marked with chalk, flags, and signs, and water stations are spaced along the way. Costumes are clearly welcome here, given the theme.
Parking is available on-site, with metered spots also nearby. Bib pickup opens at the start line on race morning, so no separate trip is needed the day before. There is a gear check at the registration tent if you want to leave a bag during the race.

The Hallo-Thanks-Mas Dash - 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
