Jumping Fences, organizer of the San Francisco Marathon is expecting 31,000 runners when the event takes place across the weekend of July 27-28, 2024.
Last summer PUMA and Jumping Fences announced a multi-year partnership making PUMA the official apparel and footwear sponsor of the San Francisco Marathon. Other partners at this year’s event include: China Airlines, Waymo, Chargel, Garmin, Nuun, Suntory All-Free, Fitvine Wine, SHOKZ, BetterAlt and UCSF.
The 2024 San Francisco Marathon will feature special appearances by PUMA athletes Molly Seidel, Jenna Prandini, Alex Toussaint and more. PUMA will also host shakeout runs and panel discussions, with an aim to energize all participants.
Runners will participate in seven different races over race weekend, from a family 1K to ‘the only big city ultra-marathon in the USA’.
Runners will traverse some of San Francisco’s most important landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Fisherman’s Wharf, Coit Tower, the Presidio, and AT&T Park. The course is designed to showcase the city’s diverse neighbourhoods, coastal views, and urban landscapes.
On Friday and Saturday, July 26-27, Fort Mason Pavilion will host the SF Marathon Expo, where 50,000+ visitors are expected.
“There’s nothing quite like the running community – it’s a family of passionate, dedicated individuals who inspire and uplift one another,” said Lauri Abrahamsen of Jumping Fences.
“Seeing runners cross the finish line, overcoming personal challenges, and achieving their goals, is truly rewarding. The San Francisco Marathon is more than just a race; it celebrates resilience, camaraderie, and the beautiful city we call home.”
