As part of the World War II home front efforts, hundreds of ships were
built here, including 142 Victory ships (the Red Oak Victory is still
there and can be visited). It was also the site of the Ford Motor
Company Assembly Plant, built in 1930 and by 1942 converted to
assemble jeeps, tanks and other military vehicles. Thousands of
dedicated women and men worked to create the means necessary to ensure
our victory. It’s from their spirit of hard work and determination
that we’ve named this race and hope to inspire excellence in all our
runners. Starting at the historic Craneway Pavilion, all distances
will run out along the San Francisco Bay Trail with breathtaking views
of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, and Mt.
Tamalpais. The courses are flat and fast making them great for
beginners or runners looking to set a personal record. LESS
