Race Information
The Bay Bridge Half Marathon is the only half-marathon to cross the iconic San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, presented by Oakland Run Co., the team behind the Oakland Turkey Trot and Oaktown Half. This one-of-a-kind Bay Area race features a scenic point-to-point course with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the San Francisco skyline.
Runners finish at a lively post-race festival on the Oakland waterfront, complete with live music, local food and drink, and community activations. Fueled by local partnerships and Bay Area pride, this half-marathon is a standout celebration of running, wellness, and connection.
The race also offers the Bay Bridge 5K, a fresh way to experience the energy of race day in the Bay Bridge Half weekend.
