Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN FRANCISCO

Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN FRANCISCO takes place in San Francisco, California, on November 14, 2026. The 13.1-mile half marathon, the 10K, the 5K and a 1-mile family fun run all start at 7:30 a.m. Timing is optional, entries are capped, and finishers collect a gift bag that includes a race shirt and a medal.

A charity of your own choosing can be supported through fundraising, and the field spans all levels rather than skewing fast. Pick your distance around what your fall has looked like. A half marathon at the end of a 14- to 16-week build with a long run reaching two hours is a satisfying way to close the season; a half run at conversational effort works just as well as a training day. The 10K and 5K suit anyone whose mileage has been shorter, and the mile is there for family.
