With a mix of long-distance and recreational runners, a highlight of Baytobreakers is the costumes worn by entrants making a dash, or a leisurely jog, to the ocean. The race couples the extravagance of Mardi Gras with The City’s penchant for theatrics.
People head down Hayes Street during the 2017 Bay to Breakers race. The runners and costumes return to San Francisco streets after the event went virtual the past two years.
With an eclectic mix of long-distance and recreational runners, a highlight of the race are the costumes worn by participants making a dash — or , in some cases, leisurely jog — to the ocean. In 1982, former race director Terri Tiffany, who oversaw the race’s biggest boom in runners, organized a contest to spark participants’ creativity. Her initiative was a hit and it wasn’t long before costumes became commonplace.
