I've been told that a race happens every May. I've seen the starting line at the Embarcadero. I've seen the finish at Ocean Beach. I've never noticed people actually racing though. I have noticed boobs, beer, butts, bacon and Elvis on the trip from one end of San Francisco to the other. With Bay to Breakers just around the corner, here are some tips for getting the full enjoyment out of the debauchery.
Bay to Breakers 2009
If you haven’t done any of the below yet just focus on getting a good spot to watch all the shenanigans.
Go here to register, get the race info, start a training plan, look at photos from the past, and get inspired to kick some ass on May 17.
Tip #1 - Getcha Costume On!
Obviously, the better the costume the more people will notice. The more people that notice the more numbers you’ll get. The more numbers you get the more new running partners you’ll have.
Elvis always gets all the ladies.
How Cute
They look like little soap dishes. That’s what they’re supposed to be, right? Oh..wait a sec………..
Tip #2 - Stay hydrated
While I can’t vouch for Banana Juice being the runner’s drink of choice, make sure to drink plenty of beer during the long run.
El Guapo?
Is that you?
Tip #3 - Wear the right shoes
This guy is either first or last. But no matter what place he’s in, Mr. Balco has a sweet stride and will have a sweeter tan.
Tip #4 - If you see a Superhero, act cool.
The race is frequented by the world’s elite. You have Hi Liner’s personal garuantee that you will see Flash, Superman, Batman, Robin, Spiderman, Mystique and almost any other Superhero you can think of.
Best Places to Get Naked in SF
As if running a 12k with your junk flying wasn’t enough.
Tip #5 - Let the crowd move you
Getting from start to finish is as easy as letting the crowd gently push you from one end to the other. You barely have to be awake.
Can you honestly say you DON’T want to be running naked somewhere in there?
B2B 2008 in Five Minutes
Just in case you want to check out what you’re getting yourself into before you actually get into it.
Tip #6 - Expect numerous WTF moments
This picture makes no sense (pink man on unicycle pulling pirate ship), but in the context of Bay to Breakers it makes perfect sense.
Tip #7 - Utilize all aid stations
Every race I’ve ever run had lame aid stations filled with water, Gatorade, oranges and energy bars. All of those pale in comparison to bacon.
Tip #8 - If you wear a ghost costume, prepare to be eaten
Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.
Tip #9 - Be prepared to see a lot of skin
Or, be prepared to show a lot of skin. If you want to show the skin, check out Bare to Breakers to get your free balloon!
She got a balloon...
but the photographer was obviously not focusing on that.
Tip #10 - Drink enough to make the memories a little fuzzy
Trust me on this one. You don’t want to wake up in makeup with a clear recollection of why you’re missing one shoe and wearing someone else’s daisy dukes.
Need some directions? No problem:
Bay To Breakers
Get from start to finish without getting lost.
Golden Gate Park
501 Stanyan St, San Francisco, CA 94117
Pop a squat on the grass (free admission to the park) and watch the crowds flow past.

Hayes Street Grill
324 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94102
There’s no better way to watch all the runners being dominated by the Hayes Street Hill than having a beer at the Hayes Street Grill.

Embarcadero Center
1 Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, CA 94111
This is where it all starts. Not really the best place to people watch, unless you like seeing people herded into corrals like cattle.

End of the Race
954 Great Hwy San Francisco, CA 94121
Spend the day at Ocean Beach watching runners dive into the Pacific. Bring your waterwings in case things get dicey.
Alamo Square
1101 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117
A great location to sit and watch. Say hi to the Painted Ladies up the street (where Bob Saget lived with Michelle and Uncle Jesse) and then say hi to the painted ladies running the street.

This guide definitely wraps up the feel of the whole event! Thanks for linking two of my guides! You rock. Also, had two hour long debate over the term “pop a squat”. Controversy ensued when I insisted it was “cop a squat”. Even the internet couldn’t decide this one, making it one of life’s great mysteries.
