You can - despite the buildup at peak times, the line moves fairly fast and you're in with your fellow runners i.e. they understand why you're all sweaty and smelly.
However, you don't have to - for $1.50, you can take the 5 Fulton (north of GGP) or the N-Judah line (south of GGP) back downtown; however, be prepared for standing-room crowded buses and mean stares from regular passengers. If you choose this option, it might be better to stay at the post-run festivities for awhile, depending on how fast you do the course.
Another option, if you want to extend your run and don't need to bother with the post-run festivities, is to finish the run and continue onward back on Lincoln Way and then south on Sunset to Taraval to catch the blissfully uncrowded L-Taraval line train (about 3 additional miles.)
