SAN FRANCISCO — Early bird registration for the second annual S.F. Aloha 5K Fun Run has been extended to Friday, Sept. 7.
On Saturday, Oct. 13, at scenic Crissy Field in the Presidio of San Francisco, with the Golden Gate Bridge as the backdrop, runners/walkers of all abilities will enjoy Hawaiian entertainment and treats. The run starts promptly at 8:30 a.m.
