Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 SAN FRANCISCO

Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 SAN FRANCISCO is held in San Francisco, California, on December 12, 2026, with the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all starting at 7:30 a.m. Waves are limited and there is no timing chip, so the day is aimed at runners who want a relaxed start line. Athletes get a performance shirt, a finisher medal, a towel or similar gift, a digital training pack and online access to results, with race swag shipped to US entrants and bibs waiting at the start. A virtual option is available, local run clubs are part of the setup, and post-race miles support charity.

Without a chip, run by feel and let your own watch keep score. That suits a first half marathon or a comeback race, where the useful goal is finishing strong rather than hitting a number. Ten to twelve weeks with one long run a week covers the 13.1; the 10K and 5K need less and still give the morning a point.
