San Francisco
Race Overview
Global cause. Local impact. #RunForYourCity
We have greatly missed hosting all of our participants at the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay due to the pandemic and continue to monitor the situation in San Francisco, United States, and across the world.
Our aspiration is to stage the best Bloomberg Square Mile Relay possible in the future - a trusted, best practice, and safe event - with the health and safety of all participants, guests, staff and stakeholders remaining our highest priority. The next in-person race in San Francisco is due to take place in 2022.
Please join our mailing list if you are new to the race to register your interest and to stay up to date on all race news. We look forward to hosting the event at a time when it will be more important than ever in getting teams of employees back together in person and we are able to recreate our unique relay race experience.
However, you can still join our global community and have an impact through our charity program, The Extra Mile, by registering for our free-to-access Bloomberg Square Mile Virtual Club.
We are committed to annually donating US$300,000 to The Extra Mile, and this year each charity partner in our 12 race cities will receive US$25,000 to address a cause voted for by the Virtual Club community through the credits each member earns from their daily activities.
Access to the exclusive platform is fully complimentary. As a member of the community you will have access to physical and mental challenges, global virtual races, exclusive articles about health and wellbeing, global and local city rankings by company, and the opportunity to track your own activities. Thousands of members are already taking advantage of everything that the platform has to offer!

Charities
The Extra Mile
Global Community. Local impact.
While we cannot meet to race in person, we are still committed to continuing the great work and hugely positive impact of The Extra Mile program around the world.
Each of your recorded activities, physical or mental, will earn credits, which you can use to vote for a specific cause. The Extra Mile charity partner in San Francisco, America Scores, will use a donation of US$25,000 to continue giving their vital support to their community by addressing the cause with most votes from the community in November 2021.
1000 points on the platform will earn you 200 credits and the right to cast 1 vote for the cause of your choice. The more points and credits you earn, the more votes you can cast for your cause.
By signing up to the Virtual Club, connecting your tracking app and earning your credits through your activity, you can have a decisive say in where the donation for your city will be used. So, get out there and start earning points and credits!
