Ken Reed Baker Beach Memorial 5K

The Ken Reed Baker Beach Memorial 5K begins at 9:00 a.m. from the lower parking lot at Baker Beach in San Francisco, finishing at the same location. This DSE 5K honors Ken Reed, a longtime DSE member and friend. Runners and walkers will navigate a short off-road course along the city's edge. The route travels from Baker Beach towards the Golden Gate and back, incorporating paved road, gravel, sand, and a wooden bridge. The course is not flat; it features a significant hill, narrow trails, stairs, and rocky terrain, making baby strollers unsuitable. Participants can run, walk, or attend the beach to commemorate the day for Reed, who was central to DSE’s annual Double Dipsea race for over ten years.
