Ben & Jerry's Group Run

When and where: The Ben & Jerry's Run meets every Wednesday at 7:00 a.m. in front of Ben & Jerry's at the corner of Haight & Ashbury streets.

Distance: 5 miles / 5.25 miles*

The Course: Starting at Haight & Ashbury, we run north on Ashbury into the Panhandle, west through the Panhandle onto JFK Blvd, west on JFK to Transverse Dr, left on Transverse, left on MLK Dr, left on Middle Dr East, right on Bowling Green Dr, left onto MLK Dr, across Kezar Dr into Kezar Stadium. At this point almost everybody does a lap on the track. (*I have no idea how this tradition got started, but you can skip the lap to make the run an even 5 miles.) We exit the stadium through the southeast gate onto Frederick street, up Frederick street to Ashbury, then left on Ashbury back to Ben & Jerry's.

Typical pace: 7:30 per mile or so

Can we stick around for ice cream? Absolutely! The store opens at 11:30 am on Wednesdays.
