the Island Running Festival is a chip-timed event. Participants can run, jog or walk the entire course. Jogging strollers are permitted but are asked to start in the back of the pack. Wheelchair athletes are permitted but due to safety concerns and street closure restrictions cannot travel faster than the fastest runner. No bikes, scooters, skateboards or other wheeled vehicles are allowed. Dogs are not allowed on our race courses. We love dogs, but there are those who are not so comfortable around them and there are also dogs that are uncomfortable around hundreds of other people, therefore NO DOGS ALLOWED on the course or at the finish line.
We will provide bike parking for those of you that prefer to bike to the event. See the race website for more details.
Medical and Water Stops:We will have a dedicated paramedics team on site and available to help assess your race day medical needs and administer acute first aid when necessary. A medical station will be located near the finish line and team members will be roaming the course. Water Stops: see maps page for more info

Running
Island Half Marathon
This years Half Marathon will consist of two loops almost entirely on Alameda Point. The run will incorporate stunning views of the SF skyline as well as the beach shoreline and the USS Hornet. There has been a transformation on Alameda Point over the last three years and we hope to showcase that with adding elements of the new Ferry Park trail and opening of Atlantic avenue as well as short out and backs along the USS Hornet and SF shoreline. there will be 3 aid stations and music along the course, and utilizing the two loop format will allow for better spectator access and allow us to crate a safe runner experience by limiting the amount of street crossings. All runners will receive a t-shirt and medal for participating
Island 10K Run
The 10K course will be a single loop on the Half course. It will include the same beautiful views, new trails and aid stations as the Half. All runners will receive a t-shirt and medal for participating
Island 5k Run / Walk presented by Penumbra
The 5k is a 3.1 mile run circling some of the best parts of the Alameda Point and recently opened trails. All runners will receive a t-shirt and medal for participating
