Bean There, Ran That · San Francisco
We run for the pastry.
BTRT is a San Francisco run club with a sweet tooth. Every Friday morning we lace up, run to a different bakery across the city, and settle in for coffee, croissants, and good company. All paces. All welcome.
Friday, 7 AM. The whole crew, somewhere new, every week.

01 / Weekly Runs
Three mornings a week. One ends in pastry.
Roll up to the meeting point and we will take it from there. We start on time, run together, and nobody gets left behind. New faces are the best part.

03 / Our Routes
The pretty ways to get to breakfast.
A few we keep coming back to. Distances are round trips from the meeting point - pick your effort and we will find a group running it with you.
01Golden Gate Span
6.2 mi+210 ft climb
Crissy Field to the north tower and back, then warm up with a flat white at the end.
02Lands End Loop
5.5 mi+640 ft climb
Cypress, cliffs, and old shipwrecks. The stairs at China Beach earn the pastry.
03Panhandle to Arsicault
4.0 mi+85 ft climb
The Friday classic. Flat and shaded from Kezar, finishing right at the croissant case.
04 / Our People
It was never really about the miles.
BTRT started with four friends meeting at Kezar before sunrise, mostly because it was easier to show up when a warm croissant was waiting at the end. The run got longer. The table got bigger. The spreadsheet of cafés became a full-blown sport.
No dues, no pace requirements, no pressure to be anyone but yourself at 7 AM. Just a city full of bakeries and a standing invitation to run to them together.
