Bay To Breakers

Sunday, May 19th

It’s an annual testament to the creativity, community and resilience that make our city such a popular destination. It also has a rich history. Here are some facts about the Alaska Airlines Bay to Breakers you can share along the course this year, whether you’re racing up Heartbreak Hill or cheering at the finish line on the Great Highway. The race began in 1912. It was meant to raise the spirits of a city still recovering from the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake and build excitement for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Bay to Breakers continued well beyond those original goals, and is now recognized as the longest consecutively run foot race in the world. Learn More >>
