Fillmore-Japantown Find-Your-Way 5K and 10K
This event is a map-based adventure through San Francisco neighborhoods and parks, offered as a 5K or 10K course. Teams of one to five people use a custom paper map to navigate between checkpoints and answer simple multiple-choice questions at each location. The custom map is at a 1:7500 scale and shows checkpoints as circles; participants go to the center of each circle to find the correct answer. The 5K course includes about 20 checkpoints and the 10K includes about 30.
The event base is La Boulangerie de San Francisco at 500 Hayes St, San Francisco. The location was moved from Hayes Valley Park. After returning to the finish there are snacks, drinks, and an opportunity for socializing. The activity runs rain or shine; closed-toed shoes, hats, and sunblock are recommended. Parking in the area is limited and public transit access is available via nearby Civic Center BART and local Muni buses.
