Q: Where do I park at the start?
A: You may park in any of The Embarcadero Center Garages anytime on race day between 5:00am and 9:00am; upon leaving, simply show your bib number to the attendant to pay the special $10 Bridge Run parking rate. There is no expiration time on when you will be required to leave that day. By the way, there is parking available on the streets near Justin Herman Plaza, but please check the meters carefully for restrictions.

Q: How do I get to the Embarcadero Center (or the Presidio) using public transportation?
A:  The Embarcadero Center can be easily reached by all Bay Area public transportation options and is accessible by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), AC Transit, Muni bus and underground, ferry, cable car or the F-Line streetcar.  For more information on public transit, please call (415) 817.1717 or go to 511.org.

Q: Can I bring my dog? How about my baby stroller?
A: For the safety of your pet and that of the participants, we ask that you leave dogs at home. Jogging strollers are permitted and no, you won't have to pay for your children in those strollers.  Please keep in mind, however, that we use school buses for our shuttles and transporting the strollers back to the start in those shuttles may be a tight squeeze.

Q: I'm team captain for several individuals representing our company and I'm curious as to the arrangement of the runners at the starting line.  Specifically, we would like to know if we may register in a leading or elite group to be at the front of the pack, or if we must simply show up early to reserve a space?
A: We encourage group/team participation and we definitely want to support your team goals. There is no special registration process for elite runners or elite teams. Each of your members should just register online individually. At the starting line, we’ll be asking runners to line up by pace; the ideal race start has "5 min./mile" pace runners up front, "6 min./mile" behind them, etc.  If you are all planning to run as a group at the same pace, let us know the size of your group and average pace, and we'll see what we can do to accommodate you.

Q: How will you be timing the event or keeping track of runners and walkers?
A:  All registered runners will be timed using D-Tag Chip Timing. The chip and basic instructions will be attached to your bib number;  here are full instructions on how to attach the chip (.pdf). Finish line timing is being provided by It’s About Time/Buzzword Productions. Results will be available at the expo afterwards and also online here at www.bridgetobridge.com following the race.
