BAY TO BREAKERS MARATHONRunners will be part of a quintessential San Francisco experience that has taken place since 1912. The race is interwoven into the fabric of the city and is a true reflection and celebration of life between the breakers and the Bay. As participants progress through the 12k course, they will pass through nine neighborhoods, each with distinctive personalities, geography and landmarks. The course is designed to deepen your love and appreciation for the city. Each runner will begin at the start point at San Francisco Bay, just blocks from The Embarcadero and run west through the city. Finishing at the Great Highway where breakers crash onto the Pacific Coast’s Ocean Beach to enjoy brunch at one of the many sunset restaurants. Throughout its long history Bay to Breakers has been a showcase for the City’s irrepressible color and its affection for eclectic traditions. For an extra $20, runners are able to add on the Sutter Health CPMC Breakers Bonus to receive an extra 3k to increase their distance run from 12k to 15k as well as other perks. Keep in mind the Finish Line officially closes at 1 PM so make sure you’ve met your distance to receive a medal.
