The San Francisco Marathon recently announced a multi-year partnership with Pappas, which included re-naming its 10K race in her honor. According to a statement from event organizers: “We are delighted to announce the 10K will be now known as the Alexi Pappas SFM 10K, a race overflowing with excitement, fun, and of course, glitter!”

The Alexi Pappas 10K race is scheduled for July 23 as a part of the San Francisco Marathon weekend. Entrants will receive custom medals and T-shirts designed by Pappas, who grew up nearby in Alameda, California.
