Across the Golden Gate: A San Francisco Marathon 2026 Recap
Christine Murasaki Ainsworth(MM13525, DA3296, HF17376) shares her recap from the San Francisco Marathon on July 26, 2026.

Christine Murasaki Ainsworth, " I ran the San Francisco Marathon on Sunday, 7/26/26. Marathon # 82. It was a beautifully scenic and notoriously hilly 26.2 miles. We had perfect weather, not much wind or fog and around 60 degrees. We started at 5:15 AM which meant I was in bed my 6:30 PM to get up at 1:30 AM Sunday morning. My hotel was about a 20 minute walk to the start/finish of the race at the Embarcadero...
I was in the second corral. It was like a really long run and a test to see how my right foot would do running 26.2 miles before all my upcoming fall marathons. My last 2 marathons were in April 20 Boston & April 26 Big Sur. I was in PT before Boston and felt good by Big Sur and even after both races. After resuming PT my pain returned but in a new location and was pretty uncomfortable. My podiatrist said the Graston technique being done at PT may have caused trauma to the foot…so I stopped going. It was SLOWLY getting better and he suggested I get a steroid injection to bring down the knot of inflammation. I was able to run SF without any pain..."
