About the SF Mile

The course runs point-to-point along Old Mason Street inside the Presidio, a stretch built for fast running. It is flat and USATF-certified, so runners chasing a personal best have a clean shot at one. Heats are organized by ability, meaning you are racing people at your level rather than just surviving a crowd.
