Whether you walked or jogged, we hope you had a wonderful race!
Our mission is to build healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities for all generations. With your support we can continue to provide the life changing programs we have been providing for more than 160 years.
This event would not have been possible without our volunteers and sponsors! The Y does not do this alone. Our community partners are the backbone of success.

Race Course
The official Jog in the Fog race starts in Mt. Lake Park and finishes out at Lands End in the USS San Francisco Memorial Parking Lot. The course is 3.4 miles in length and is mostly flat terrain but there are some hills and stairs in the Lands End portion of the course.
(note that Google Maps think it’s longer than 3.4 miles but we’ve clocked it with a GPS, it’s 3.4 miles)
