San Francisco Marathon

I'm thinking seriously about going out to San Francisco for this
year's marathon, and I have a favor to ask.

Can someone who's run this marathon in the past please describe
the course route to me?  I used to live in the SF Bay area, and
I am familiar with The City.  So, even a general description of
the course would be sufficient.

Thanks.  And, as always, please respond in e-mail so as to not
offend the net cops...

I will be running the San Francisco marathon for the first time on 7-9-95.
I will be visiting from New York and would appreciate any info on the
course and the race in general.
     I am also interested in sharing a ride to and from the race . I'll be
staying in the Woodside area, south of S.F.
     Please post race info or respond about transportation via e mail.

        Thanks,
                   Dan Pasternak

I've done the SF marathon 4 times. It is not a PR course. There are hills
and
it can be a very windy course. The plus side is you get to run through
various ethic sections of the city. Running across the Golden Gate bridge
is a great experience.

Good luck and enjoy.

   The only steep hill on the current course in the Haight Street hill
which,if I read the map correctly , comes around mile 14.
