Race of the Month



The Emerald Across the Bay 12K is a huge race that brings some of the fastest runners early this season. The first 2 miles are rolling in Sausalito with one major hill to get up and over the Golden Gate Bridge. From there, it's mostly downhill and flat to the finish. Many runners use this as the only qualifier to get a seeded or sub-seeded position for the Bay to Breakers 12K. Information on qualifying for a position at Bay to Breakers 12K: http://ingbaytobreakers.com/index.php?page=seeded

March 18 is the deadline for early registration. Link: http://rhodyco.com/eab12k-2010.html

Race of the Month



The Kaiser Permanente Half Marathon is already SOLD OUT so my next pick for this month's race is the YMCA Chinese New Year Run. It is a small, yet local favorite in San Francisco that benefits the Physical Education Program in elementary schools. You have a 5K or 10K option that you can decide upon mid-race. Early registration ends on February 17, but you can also register on the day of the event.
