The swag that makes crossing the finish line even sweeter. 🏅

Every runner at the Presidio Half Marathon goes home with a custom race tee and an exclusive finisher medal - and trust us, this one is worth running 13.2 miles for. But the best part? Every single mile you run, every shirt you wear, every medal you hang on your wall - it all goes toward something bigger.

Your registration directly supports The Guardsmen's mission to send underserved youth to life-changing outdoor programs right here in the Bay Area. Over 1,500 kids a year. More than 250 scholarships. All made possible because runners like you showed up.

So lace up. Cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Earn your pancakes. And wear that medal with pride - because you really did run for a reason. 🧇🍺
