🏃‍♂️ About Our Team

Excelsior Running Club is a dynamic community of runners based in the Bay Area, with members spanning Northern California and beyond. We welcome athletes of all ages, genders, and experience levels—from competitive racers to recreational runners. Our club thrives on a balance of performance, friendship, and fun.

🌟 Who We Are

  • Inclusive and diverse membership

  • Runners of all ability levels

  • Supportive, social, and competitive atmosphere

🏅 What We Do

We compete as part of the USATF Pacific Association (PA), which covers Northern California and Nevada. Our teams participate in:

  • Road races: 1 mile to marathon

  • Cross country: 3–6 mile trail races in the fall

  • Ultras: 50K to 100-mile and timed endurance events

We field both men’s and women’s teams in open and masters divisions, offering opportunities for runners at every stage of their journey.

🌍 Beyond the PA

Our members frequently race outside the Pacific Association, bringing a wealth of insight into local, national, and international events. Whether you’re planning your next race or seeking training advice, you’ll find experienced voices ready to help.

🗓️ Weekly Workouts & Meetups

  • Wednesday Workouts: 6:00 PM at Kezar Stadium, San Francisco (upper loop near the press box)

🧭 More Than Running

We also organize hiking, climbing, orienteering, and other outdoor adventures—because movement and exploration go hand in hand.
