Streets will be closed and public transit rerouted along San Francisco’s waterfront Sunday for the San Francisco Giant Race.

Over 6,000 runners are expected to participate in the race’s 14th edition, according to organizers. This year’s event features 5K and 10K races, along with a virtual option. The race ends on Oracle Park’s field.

Five streetcar and bus lines will be rerouted, and a handful of streets around the ballpark will be closed, according to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.
