Excelsior Running Club is a PA-USATF affiliated competitive running club in San Francisco, founded in 1973. We train seriously, race year-round, and still operate like a real team.
- Competitive but not exclusionary. There are no time standards or cutoffs to join.
- Focused on consistent training, racing, and showing up for each other.
- Active across PA-USATF road, cross country, and mountain/ultra/trail racing.
- Organizer of the Blue Heron 5K (July 4, Golden Gate Park) and the Star City San Bruno Mountain Half Marathon (October, 2400ft gain).
