Description

History

Established in 1912.

At 5:13am on April 18, 1906, a devastating earthquake rocked San Francisco. Displaying their typical fortitude and innovation, San Franciscans immediately began rebuilding the city and producing events to lift their morale. One of those events, the Cross City Race — known today as ING Bay to Breakers — was first run in 1912.

Since then, Bay to Breakers has prevailed as a testament to San Francisco’s uniqueness and audacity. The race is a glorious celebration of the human spirit — a giant wave of athleticism, fun, frivolity, and determination flowing across the City from the bay to the ocean.

In the true spirit of San Francisco the race is a celebration for everyone. Thousands of costumed participants join with families, weekend runners and people just out for a stroll. As they make their way through the heart of San Francisco they are cheered by thousands of spectators and live music along the course.
