2024 Golden Heart Run 4.9K

This year, we brought an exciting lineup of activations for both participants and spectators. Everyone had the chance to enjoy pre-race photo opportunities with the 49ers Gold Rush and Sourdough Sam, as well as receive their medals from the Gold Rush at the finish line. As you entered the stadium, you were greeted by Niner Noise and an electrifying drumline. Nike shoe trials offered a chance to test out the latest footwear, while a pre-race stretch and flex session helped get everyone warmed up.

Whether you were running the race or cheering from the sidelines, there was something for everyone to enjoy!
