Where all contestants run through San Francisco from the Bay to the Pacific Coast. Through the famous steep hills too!

One of the categories is that a group can run together as a unit. They are all connected with a line and they wear costumes with a theme. It’s a fun category, but the runners are all serious runners! They all train together.

It was too expensive for me to retire there. I relocated to Santa Fe, NM which I’m happy about. It a great mix of ethnicities here too. I need that.

The costumes were sometimes so hilarious. Yesterday it rained but obviously didn’t dampen the spirits of these great ladies!

I ran it once and that was enough for me. I just like to be a spectator now.
