Susan G Komen Race for the Cure
Sunday, 9 a.m.
The Embarcadero

October is breast cancer awareness month, but get an early start this Sunday with the The Race for the Cure. Since 1983, the race has helped to raise funds for education, research, treatments, and support services. Whether you walk or run, join thousands in supporting the cause and spreading the mission “to live in a world without breast cancer.”

The race will track along parts of The Embarcadero in between the Ferry Building and AT&T Park resulting in street closures.

Due to street closures and heavy pedestrian activity, motorists are advised to avoid the area until the race has finished.

Muni service note: the F Market and Wharves, N Judah, and T Third lines may see possible delays through the area.
