Today was the 6th annual Nike Women’s Marathon with around 20,000 participants. I headed out to the beach to catch a bit of the action. The stream of runners was constant for the whole hour I was watching. Here’s a shot of the runners descending the hill near the Cliff House. At the finish line, all runners were met by firemen in tuxedos who were presenting the finishing gift of a Tiffany’s necklace.
Congrats to all participants.
Today I drove up to Sonoma to shoot photos for the Hit the Road Jack Run / Walk. It’s a 2.2 mile and certified 10k fundraiser run for the Boys and Girls Clubs Valley of the Moon and Hospice by the Bay.

This morning I shot photos at the Climb California stair climb. The event was hosted by the American Lung Association and consisted of a race up the 52 flights of stairs of the 555 California building in downtown San Francisco. Check out the photos at http://www.fotojack.com.
The Marine Mammal Center in the Marin Headlands put on the Run for the Seals today at Rodeo Beach. About 1,000 runners came out to support the cause and enjoy the beautiful weather. The normally foggy venue was nothing but bright sunshine. Check out my event photos at http://www.fotojack.com.
The San Francisco marathon course went right past my house and since a few friends were running I ventured out into the cold, misty morning to get some shots. The runners looked to be enjoying the cool weather.
This morning I went down to Sports Basement in the Presidio and shot the official race photos for the Xterra Presidio Relay and Challenge. Each team in the event has 4 runners who have to run a 5k.
This morning it was off to Sonoma to shoot the official photos for a run/walk in Sonoma. Check out the pictures.

At first, I wasn’t too excited about shooting a running race in the stairwell of a highrise office building but it turned out pretty well. The view from the top was amazing.

This morning I shot photos at the ANA Cable Car Chase, a 5.67 mile run on the cable car routes of San Francisco. I ended up hiking about half the course to get to the spot I wanted to shoot from, on California St. at the top of Nob Hill. The I rode the cable car back down the hill and got some shots of the finishers.
