Summer Evening Race Series

Join DSE for a fourth year of our Summer Evening Race Series at Lake Merced. The races are held every Thursday evening, starting and finishing at the Sunset Blvd. parking lot at Lake Merced, and the course is one loop around the paved 4.5 mile bike path. The specific dates are June 9, 16, 23, 30, July 7, 14, 21, 28, and August 4, 11, 18, and 25.

Registration begins at 5:45pm, and the timed race starts promptly at 6:30pm. Walkers and self-timers can begin anytime after 5:45pm. Runners will accrue points in the following age divisions over the 12-week series: 29 & under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. Please note that you must run in a minimum of 6 races in order to be eligible for an award.

The entry fee remains at $1. However, due to an increase this year in our permit fees to San Francisco Parks & Recreation Department, we will need to remit the entire $1 to them. This basically means we are putting on these races for free. We ask those participating to please pitch in any spare change when possible to help pay for post-race snacks. There will be a donation box at each race. Or bring along a bag of chips or cookies to share with everyone.

Please note that participation in these races does not count toward overall DSE race attendance or regular age division points. However, if you volunteer to help at a race it will count towards your required volunteer hours. Please email Janet at jLnissenson@aol.com at least 24 hours prior to a race if you are planning to volunteer.
