2026 FINISHER MEDAL
Enjoy The Journey
Join us as we make history (again) across the brand-new Bay Bridge for the first & only Half Marathon. We’ll depart from West Oakland and initiate a wide, fast and fun few miles before arriving at the entrance to the bridge path. As we proceed toward Treasure Island, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the ever-evolving San Francisco Skyline. On the return, you’ll have a front row seat to Oakland’s infamous cranes, town-scape and beautiful rolling hills.
New 5K Distance
New for 2026, the Bay Bridge 5K offers runners a fresh way to experience the energy of race day in the Bay Bridge Half weekend. The 3.1-mile route brings runners through downtown Oakland, starting at 3rd Street and Chestnut Street, turning onto Mandela Parkway, and continuing to 7th Street before heading back toward the finish. Runners will retrace their steps to the finish-line festival, where the celebration awaits.
There’s only one first time
We’re on a mission to bring you a one-of-a-kind, fresh experience to our hometown. Run the Bay Bridge, celebrate, and revel in making history in the largest event across the Bay Bridge.
Exclusive Access To Our New Bridge
We’re focused on a premium, one-of-a-kind event, giving our sold-out crowd the best of Oakland. Our local partners include Oaklandish, Old Kan Beer, Oakland Roots and more. This is the only Half to grace our beautiful bridge, so you know it’s going to be big.
