More than 5,000 runners, many of them veterans of the scenic, challenging route from Sausalito to San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, are expected to participate. The starting line at East Fort Baker looks across the Bay at a magnificent view of the city. As the run progresses across the Bridge, through the Presidio Forest, along Crissy Field and Marina Green and into Aquatic Park on Fisherman's Wharf, the original panorama continues to shift and focus on one inspiring version of that view after another.



While the majority of the 'Emerald Across the Bay 12K' runners will enjoy testing their personal fitness on the 7.45 mile course, hundreds of the Bay Area's best runners will challenge each other start to finish for $4,500 in prize money.



'Emerald Across The Bay 12K' is the West Coast 12K Championship, part of the USA Track & Field Grand Prix series of roadrace championships. The 12K course across the Golden Gate is home to 15 national and world 12K bests.
