History
The celebrated Bay to Breakers race was first held in 1912, known then as the Cross City Race.
With each year that's passed, Bay to Breakers has grown into a glorious celebration of the human spirit. Now one of the largest foot races in the world, this event attracts not just world-class runners but thousands of costumed runners and walkers.
With live music, thousands of spectators, and a challenging course, this event is truly a showcase of all San Francisco has to offer.
Breakers Bonus - Make it 15k
Those who fancy trying something a bit longer have another option, runners can choose to do the Breakers Bonus 3k which adds to the end of the original route, for a total of a 15k run.
DoorDash Centipede Team Run
If you weren't sure how this event could get even more fun, try doing a 12k run linked to your teammates. Teams of 13-15 will travel the whole route linked together by a bungee cord or another safety mechanism.
