2014 Nike Women’s Half Marathon San Francisco
On Sunday, 25,000 women, as well as a few good men, ran in the 11th annual Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Francisco to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) mission to find cures for blood cancers and ensure access to treatment. Since its inception in 2004, the Nike Women’s Half Marathon Series has helped raise more than $152 million for LLS. It’s also considered the largest women’s race in the world to date, with a total of 245,000 female race participants representing 54 countries and all 50 U.S. states from when it first started.
Extra hype surrounded the race this year due to the brand new course in which runners began at the heart of the city in Union Square, making their way through the hilly terrain of Golden Gate Park, and coasting downhill through the Presidio where they hit the last mile and a half on a fast straight away along the Marina.
