Community Run

Golden Gate Running Club (GGRC) is a non-profit, member-driven running club that perfectly embodies the "runs hard and plays hard" spirit of San Francisco. United by an enthusiasm for running among friends in one of California's most beautiful cities, they cater to a diverse range of needs, from serious marathon training to casual, conversational runs. Their structured schedule includes Wednesday night track practices at Kezar Stadium and scenic Sunday runs from Crissy Field. With a focus on community, member dues are used to subsidize races and a vibrant calendar of social events, including monthly happy hours and an annual banquet.
