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.
