Bay To Breakers

May 2007

 

Photos by: Sharon Caren & Patti Furnivall

The Bay To Breakers race was started in 1906. Runners start at the foot of the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge (i.e. the Bay) and run the 7 miles across town to the Pacific Ocean at Ocean Beach (i.e. The Breakes/Waves), thus the name. It was begun as a way to lift folk's spirits just after the great Earthquake in April 1906.

Much of the race goes through Golden Gate Park and, in several areas, bands play live music to help the runners along

We had to be there at 5:30 in the morning to set all the extra equipment up.....sorry guys

Over the years the race has become a San Francisco tradition. Thus, even though it's officially a race, it's also a party for many. You might say it's San Francisco's answer to Mardi Gras. Some folks wear costumes, and some fols wear.................... :-)

Tricia, Debbie, Patti & Sharon (behind the camara). Thanx for all of the help gals. We needed it.
