Notes: Several different organizing groups have held marathons in and around San Francisco (see below). In addition,
the course used for the San Francisco Marathon has undergone almost annual changes and relocations. In the 2002
race. roughly 100 runners were led off course, including the designated women's winner, Magdalena Lewy whose time
was adjusted to 2:53:55 (still more than 12 minutes faster than the 2nd place woman).
