Join SF Runs!
We'll send you updates of upcoming races, fun runs, and special events.
The killings in the Atlanta area this week are among the latest heartbreaking examples of injustice, racism, and violence experienced by the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities in this country.
We want to do our part to deliver a simple message: Stop the Hate Now.
To do this we are launching a virtual Run Against Hate. This is a free event where members of the running community can add their voices to the call that the hate, racism, and violence must stop.
We also want to amplify the work of so many who are on the frontlines. On the event website there are links where you can donate to organizations and fundraisers that are currently in progress. In addition, there are links to educational information, safety resources, upcoming events, and other ways you can take action.
Registration is at runagainsthate.org. If you have suggestions for this event or would like to collaborate, send an e-mail to hello@runagainsthate.org

At SF Runs we remember Hanako (Hana) Abe, who passed away at age 27 as a result of a hit-and-run that took place on December 31, 2020. Hana loved running and had run with SF Runs previously.
Hana embodied resilience, bravery, and hope. Hana grew up in Fukushima, Japan, where her family survived the Japanese earthquake and nuclear disaster. Despite this tragedy, Hana continued doing her best in pursuit of her dreams. The fruits of her labors were being accepted to the University of Central Arkansas where she developed a passion for computer science.
Upon graduating, Hana moved to San Francisco in 2018 where she started pursuing her dream as a data engineer. She always had the warmest smile and made friends wherever she went.
On top of being far away from her family, Hana shouldered an enormous amount of responsibility with her father having an aortic dissection and mother’s battle with lung cancer. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hana continued to display resilience and optimism about the future.
To honor Hana’s memory SF Runs organized a virtual Run for Hanako in January 2021 in partnership with some of Hana’s friends, who launched a GoFundMe to assist her family.
Hana's family and friends were moved by people from around the world who shared heartfelt messages and beautiful photos from their Run for Hanako activities. Although the Run for Hanako has concluded we will continue to remember Hana and know that her spirit will be with us always.
