Hello,
I will be heading to San Francisco for a couple of days and was looking for some good running routes from my hotel. I will be staying at the Westin St. Francis. I am looking for a `6 miler and a 10-12 mile route. Any help would be appreciated. Also is there a pool near there or a masters team? Thanks

A run along the Embarcadero is always good. You can start near the Ferry Building and head towards the GG Bridge on an out and back of a distance of your choice and play tourist along the way. The weather is awesome right now. I got some sun at the 49ers game yesterday.
If you leave your hotel and run down through the financial distrist to the water and go left you’ll hit the Golden Gate bridge in about 5.5-6 miles. If you want more distance run across the bridge. If you go right at the water you can run a lap around SBC park for about a 4-5 mile loop.
If you have a car you can get to 100+ miles of great running trails in literally 10 minutes. Happy to outline some trail runs if you are interested.
If you have the time, run to the GG bridge like MtTam suggested, then run across to Sausalito and take the ferry back. The run will be about ten miles, but you’ll need money and to check the ferry schedule. Disclaimer: I don’t live in SF, and I’ve never done this (except on bike) but I think it would be fun.
