This race starts in Marin, crosses over the Golden Gate Bridge, and ends in San Francisco. It was formerly known as "Houlihan's 12K", and the race is now sponsored by Emerald Nuts.
More than 5,000 runners, many of them veterans of the scenic, challenging route from Sausalito to San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, are expected to participate. The starting line at East Fort Baker looks across the Bay at a magnificent view of the city. As the run progresses across the bridge, through the Presidio Forest, along Crissy Field and Marina Green and into Aquatic Park on Fisherman's Wharf, the original panorama continues to shift and focus on one inspiring version of that view after another. While the majority of the 'Emerald Nuts Across the Bay 12K' runners will enjoy testing their personal fitness on the 7.51 mile course, hundreds of the Bay Area's best runners will challenge each other start to finish for $5,000 in prize money. 'Emerald Nuts Across The Bay 12K' is the West Coast 12K Championship, part of the USA Track & Field Grand Prix series of roadrace championships. The 12K course across the Golden Gate is home to 15 national and world 12K bests.

I ran this race in both 2003 and 2004. It's a very popular event, with thousands of runners making the 12K journey from Marin across the bridge into the city. The run across the Golden Gate Bridge is the highlight of the race. To my knowledge, this is the only race that crosses the bridge. Beware, the uphill at the start as you head up to the bridge is very challenging. Overall this is a very good race with good organization, and I would recommend it.
