Fun Races For Everyone

For decades, Bob Anderson—founder of Runner’s World Magazine—has been at the heart of the running world. With over 20 years of organizing races across the Bay Area, Bob and his team are proud to bring you Bay Area Races—a celebration of community, competition, and the beautiful routes we all love.

We currently host three signature events: the Brisbane scenic run, the iconic Golden Gate race in San Francisco, and the festive Palo Alto holiday run. Each race is designed for runners of all levels—whether you’re chasing a personal best or enjoying a first 5K.

Bay Area Races is more than just events—it’s a shared journey. Come run with us and be part of a legacy where every finish line is a new starting point!
