In 2009 I was one of the people who came up with the idea to run the Golden Gate Bridge during VMworld. This idea got a little out of hand and we ended up with roughly 200 runners and 4 Sponsors. It was probably one of the best social events I ever attended during VMworld.
This year we expected that a lot more people wanted to join and as such the VMworld Organization is running (:-)) the event this year.
What: 5k out-and-back course
When: Sunday, August 29th at 5:00 p.m.
Where: Crissy Field, San Francisco
Who: VMworld 2010 attendees and spouses
How: Registration and further information to come out next week.
Doug says
So, we’re not going across the bridge this year?
I know Crissy Field is supposed to be a good place to run, but to say you ran across the Golden Gate and back is pretty cool ๐
Duncan Epping says
with 200 people it was a challenge last year. I bet it will be 400 at least this year.
Aodhan says
Great news Duncan, I was just wondering today whether this event would happen again ๐ Looking forward to knocking out a few K’s in San Francisco ๐
Dave Convery says
I only run if there are bees involved, but I regretted not attending last year and at least cheering everyone on. Hopefully I can fit it in this year.

Tom says
Thanks! I too was hoping to run across the bridge. So, when is the extra super secret run? ๐
Emma says
If I was attending I would soooooo do this! Love running when i’m abroad – you get to see the place from a different perspective.
Ryan Birk says
The only negative is it’s on Sunday. I ran it last year but my flight won’t be in until later that evening. ๐ I plan to at some point run across the bridge again though.
Keith Norbie says
I did this last year and this is awesome. Can you do it on Monday like last year? The majority of people fly in on Sunday and I’ve got to change a flight. Either way I’d love to do it again and would love registration info.
Duncan Epping says
Sorry, this time it is organized by VMworld due to the expected attendance we need to make sure everyone is safe etc. So specific rules and regulations apply this time.
