Live Ultimate Run was in San Francisco June 30th and I did the Quarter Marathon distance, 6.55 miles. This is the first I've heard of this distance, and thought heck lets try it out and see how it goes. I think this was the first quarter marathon distance for San Francisco. The course was a 2 lap run around Chrissy Field area to Fort Point. The views of the Golden Gate Bridge are always beautiful and amazing. The weather was amazing, although it felt quite hot and uncomfortable while running. They only had one water stop for the course that was overrun with runners because they we're not prepared. Most races have a group of people passing out water and a group refilling cups. This water stop had one or two people passing out cups and you fill the water yourself, which caused a backup of runners waiting to get water.
The highlight of this run came after i finished. My 1.5 year old son was running in the kids dash. This was his first official run, got a bib, shirt and medal. He didn't really have a clue what was going on, but as a parent this is one of those moments that you will cherish forever.
