San Francisco Marathon 2019: Route, Course Map, Times, Road Closures and Details

More than 27,000 people will run through the streets of San Francisco on Sunday morning in the 42nd San Francisco Marathon.

The race, which is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon and Olympic Time Trials, has been won by the same person each of the last two years.

Jorge Maravilla finished first in 2017 and 2018, posting a time of 2 hours, 27 minutes and 56 seconds last year. Bonnie Tran won on the women's side in 2018 with a time of 2:54.09.

The course record on both the men's and women's sides were set in 2013 by Francois Lhuissier (2:25.15) and Anna Bretan (2:42.26), respectively, and the latter won three straight years from 2013-15.

Heading into this year's race, here's a look at the map, road-closure information and the different events set for Sunday.
