Bay to Breakers: A Colorful and Creative Celebration in San Francisco

The Bay to Breakers, a San Francisco tradition, returned after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The event, which began in 1912, is known for its imaginative costumes and attracts runners and revelers alike. Participants spend weeks creating their costumes, often modeled after superheroes, historical figures, or cartoon characters. The event also features a centipede division and unofficial traditions such as spectators tossing tortillas and runners in salmon suits "swimming upstream."
