The San Francisco Aloha Run returns to Crissy Field in San Francisco on September 20th, 2026. This event offers a 10K run, 5K race, Keiki Mile for children, and the virtual options of both the 10K and 5K distances. For its 16th year, this beloved community gathering brings together participants from all walks of life to support local scholarships through individual acts of kindness. Crissy Field offers a picturesque setting on that Sunday morning in September. The race starts early at dawn, with temperatures typically ranging between 14 and 21 degrees Celsius, making for comfortable running conditions despite the higher humidity levels. Participants will start from Crissy Field's scenic shoreline, moving through firm but slightly soft terrain under moderate UV index exposure. The course is laid out along paths that are well-suited for this kind of event, with a mix of paved and somewhat softer surfaces providing variety to runners’ steps. Notable features include the gradual incline leading up towards Lands End before descending back into Crissy Field. Aids stations will be strategically placed throughout the route. On race morning, expect a warm but not oppressive feel, perfect for those looking to enjoy their run in pleasant conditions without excessive heat or wind chill. The 10K and 5K races start simultaneously at 8:30 AM, followed by the Keiki Mile and Trot after they complete their courses around the park.
