Bay To Breakers 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽🏃🏻‍♂️ San Francisco 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽🏃🏻‍♂️ May 17, 2026

Join me as I run my fourth Bay To Breakers! Bay to Breakers is an annual footrace in San Francisco, California typically on the third Sunday of May. The phrase "Bay to Breakers" reflects the fact that the race starts at the northeast end of the downtown area a few blocks from The Embarcadero (adjacent to San Francisco Bay) and runs west through the city to finish at the Great Highway (adjacent to the Pacific coast, where breakers crash onto Ocean Beach). The complete course is 7.46 miles (12 km) long. https://www.baytobreakers.com/ RACE START 2026 Date: Sunday, May 17 Start Time: The first wave will take off at 8:00am and last wave at 8:45am Location: intersection of Howard St. & Main St. in downtown San Francisco.
