About the race
The Best Races’ San Mateo edition runs along the San Francisco Bay Trail in San Mateo, CA. It offers multiple distances: 5K, 10K, and a half-marathon (13.1), plus a Family 1-Mile Fun Run and a Virtual option. The atmosphere is described as a smaller, private-group run with capped waves and no mandatory timing chips; timing is optional via apps and a simple form to post results.
Swag includes a mailed running shirt, a finisher medal, and a towel or giveaway, plus a digital training pack and online results. Race bibs are issued on race day, and registrants are invited to join local running clubs and charity initiatives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
