On Sunday, July 26, I ran the 2026 San Francisco Bridge Half Marathon with friends from my running club. We shared 13.1 miles, plenty of sunshine, and the wonderful energy of runners and supporters across the city.
My official finish time was 2 hours 21 minutes.
Starting Together
Running with my club made race day feel special from the beginning. We met at the Embarcadero before the start, took a photo together, and joined thousands of runners heading toward the Golden Gate Bridge.
The course was challenging, but having friends nearby made the miles feel lighter. We encouraged each other and enjoyed the experience as a team.
Sunshine, friends, and good energy on the Bridge Half course.
The Best Three Miles
The last three miles were my favorite part of the race. I felt strong, relaxed, and happy to be running. The sunshine, the people cheering, and the energy from the other runners made those final miles go by quickly.
Instead of only thinking about the finish line, I was enjoying the moment.
