The Best Races - San Mateo

The Best Races event on the San Mateo segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail offers 5K, 10K, and half-marathon options, plus a family 1-mile fun run and a virtual version. The atmosphere is relaxed and community-focused: a smaller, private-group format with limited waves and a cap per wave, welcoming all paces and ages (minors with guardian). There are no timing chips; timing is optional and results can be posted online.

Swag includes a shirt shipped to your address, a finisher’s medal, a towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack. Tap into local running clubs and charitable initiatives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
