Running Now that Crissy Field s restoration weather in adriatic is complete, the Golden Gate Promenade (see p97) is an inspiring weather in adriatic run. And, of course, Golden Gate Park offers endless opportunities for jogging. If organized running is your thing, try the Bay to Breakers or the San Francisco Marathon. d Bay to Breakers: 3rd Sun in May; (415) 359-2800; www.baytobreakers.com San Francisco Marathon: Jul; (415) 284-9653 www.runsfm.com
Sunset District Like its counterpart, the Richmond District (see p101), this neighborhood was part of the Outer Lands and is purely residential, consisting of row upon row of neat, look alike houses. Yet, like the entire area along the ocean, this district is subject to a great deal of gray weather. Its one claim to fame is Sutro Tower, the pronged red and white television antenna that resembles something weather in adriatic out of a science fiction movie. d Between Sloat Blvd & Golden Gate Park and Stanyan St & the Pacific Ocean Map C5
