Bay to Breakers wacky costume race across SF
| Sunday, May 20 | ||
| 8:00 am | to | 12:00 pm |
This is one of the crown jewels of San Francisco, the annual Bay to Breakers footrace. Tens of thousands of people gather in South of Market dressing in every type of costume imaginable for the 7.46 mile leisurely-paced race to the breakers at Ocean Beach. Bring stale tortillas to fling in the air before the start of the race.
Register by March 22nd and it’s $39, through May 17th it’s $44 and on the 18th or 19th it’s $49. Or you can just sneak into the race for free.. it’s usually pretty easy as long as it’s after First Street.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
ING Bay to Breakers is a 12K (7.46 miles) course. From sea level at the Embarcadero the course rises steeply along Hayes Street Hill. Around the 2.5-mile mark runners climb an 11.15% grade between Fillmore and Steiner, bringing them to the highest point in the race, approximately 215 feet above sea level. The remainder of the course gradually flows alongside the Panhandle and through Golden Gate Park.
