Bay 2 Bankers 5K and 10K
Bay 2 Bankers is a map based urban adventure running event in San Francisco that starts at Andrea's Fountain in Ghirardelli Square. The event features a mystery theme that highlights classic San Francisco neighborhoods and vintage city vibes. Teams of one to five use a custom map to navigate from checkpoint to checkpoint.
Participants receive a custom map at check in and must tag an issued chip at each timing station. Maps are printed at roughly 1:3000 or 1:4000 scale. Checkpoint counts differ by distance: the 5K typically includes about ten checkpoints and the 10K about fifteen. The course shows checkpoints as circles on the map; teams find the place at each circle center to record their visit.
Age and gender divisions are offered: Junior, Open, Masters (average age 40 plus), Family, and divisions for Women, Men, and Mixed teams. After finishing, participants can enjoy snacks, drinks, and socializing at the finish area. The finish area is roughly 0.9 to 1.0 miles from the start, about a 20 minute walk or 10 minute jog back to the start point.
The event runs rain or shine. Closed toe shoes, hats, and sunblock are recommended. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
