About

A unique double-race format on San Francisco’s scenic waterfront at Crissy Field with iconic views of the Golden Gate Bridge—run a 5K, take a short recovery break, then complete a 3K second leg. Created by Bob Anderson in 2010, it combines two races into one event with pace groups, a halftime show, awards, and a finish-line medal for all finishers.

Catering & aid stations

Water stations and light refreshments on course; finish-area hydration and snacks provided.

Pacers

Pace groups are offered for all distances. On race day (Renntag), target times per start wave are published for the Double 8K (two legs: 5K then 3K) to help pacer‑led groups stay on pace. Pacers run with flags to keep the group together; splits are tracked for the combined Double 8K time.
