Robotics Builders Waterfront 5K

Ahead of Actuate Day 1, we're holding a relaxed pre-conference jog that loops from Fort Mason to Fisherman's Wharf and back. Anyone attending, or any local robotics builders looking to stretch their legs on Tuesday morning, are welcome to join.

Update: We're absolutely thrilled with the uptake on this event! Thank you so much for your interest. In order to keep this a manageable number we have paused registrations, but please do sign up to the waitlist in the event of dropouts nearer to the event.

We'll be putting on coffees and a light breakfast at Equator Coffees in Fort Mason straight after the run.

If you're in town for Actuate, building in robotics, working around autonomy, infrastructure, simulation, hardware, software, or just fancy meeting a few decent people before the day starts, come along.

Runners, joggers and walkers all welcome.

The plan
We'll meet outside Equator Coffees at Fort Mason from 6:30am, then head out together along the waterfront.
The route will loop back around the Pier 45 / Boudin area before returning to Fort Mason.
Afterwards you'll be able to grab coffee and a light breakfast on us at Equator Coffees before we head into the day.

Who's hosting?
This is organised by Cubiq Robotics & Autonomy.
We work with robotics, autonomous systems, physical AI and engineering teams on hiring, and we'll be in San Francisco for Actuate '26.
This is mainly an excuse to meet good people in a way that's a bit more human than another meeting in a hotel lobby.
