UA: MR ~15K Needed from SFO

Trying to retain my Premier Gold on UA and I'm 14,766 miles off due to 1 less long haul work trip this year. Progress is below and I've seen a few good runs that get close, but not close enough. I haven't had to pull a run of this length before so I'm hoping someone far more savvy has insight. Dates are pretty flexible before EOY.

YTD Premier qualifying miles: 35,224 / 50,000
YTD Premier qualifying segments: 20 / 60
YTD Premier qualifying dollars: $5,672 / 6000
4 flight segment minimum: 4 / 4

Trial and error with Google Flights (www.google.com/flights) - plug in your origin, then apply some filters (Airline, price, dates) and see what comes up.

I'm in a similar boat as you (but for Plat) - this is what I came up with:

Depart Dec 27, return Dec 29:
SFO-HKG-GUM-HNL-SFO --> 15230 miles / $807

(also available for 12/29 departure, returning 12/31)
