The half marathon at the Wipro San Francisco Marathon is actually two half marathons -- both courses show off different parts of what makes the city what it is, from the Embarcadero and Fisherman's Wharf in the first half to the scenery of the second half, including gorgeous Golden Gate Park, Haight Ashbury district and AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.

The course for the first half marathon starts on the waterfront at Embarcadero and Mission, and takes runners on a point-to-point course that largely heads west through the city, all the way to Golden Gate Park. The second half marathon picks up quite literally where the first half left off, starting runners off in Golden Gate Park and taking them on what is largely an eastward route through the city, on the way toward the finish line on the waterfront at Embarcadero.
