Kite and Tank Hill (3-ish mile loop)-DESCRIPTION

This route starts at Dolores Park and winds through the Castro and Eureka Valley. From the park you run 19^th St towards underrated Kite Hill with beautiful views of Downtown and the Bay. You will descend the hill and cross Market St to the charming neighborhood underneath Twin Peaks and hit Tank Hill with an almost 360-degree view of San Francisco, looking out on Golden gate Bridge and Marin. From there you descend, with the best part – running down Corbett St, subject of several chases in movies and tv series, before you run back to Dolores Park through Eureka valley.
