The San Francisco Marathon – Our Secret

As some of you know I am a San Francisco Marathon ambassador! One of the huge benefits of being an ambassador is being able to share a discount code with all of YOU!

So if you are still looking for that perfect summer marathon, come join me and a few thousand of your closet running friends in a jaunt through the best of San Francisco. July weather in SF is perfect for running, and although there are a few uphills, it does mean there are a number of downhills to look forward to! And if a marathon seems a bit to long there are TWO half marathons. That’s right, you can pick to run either the first half (across the golden gate bridge) or the second half starting in golden gate park.

San Francisco Marathon

I have an exciting announcement….
I was chosen to be a San Francisco Marathon Ambassador!!

I grew up near San Francisco where throughout my life I’d heard about the marathon and various family friends completing the half or the full. When I started running in college, I loosely set my sights on running the SF Marathon, it is my hometown race after all. In 2009 I ran my first marathon, the Seattle Marathon, and every since then I knew I could do San Francisco. The real problem was with school, study abroads, and summer jobs, the dates always seemed to be a bit off.

Well, I am finally done with graduate school and out in the real world which means no more excuses. I am running the full marathon next year, and I know being on the Ambassador team will make the experience even more amazing then I have imagined. It will be my 4th 26.2, just two weeks after my 26 birthday and I could not be more excited.

The Marathon will take me across this wonderful bridge
