  • Comments: I'd been to Bay to Breakers a couple times before as a spectator, but never a participant. I was very surprised by how well organized it was (although I probably shouldn't have been since the race has been going on for 97 years). The race started right on time, and while there were certainly thick crowds, they weren't nearly as bad as I'd feared. Support for the race -- from spectators and volunteers -- is fantastic. You can even get a printout of your results just a few minutes after the finish line.

  • Comments: This is as much a moving block party/carnival as a road race. There aren't a ton of serious entrants, but the course is a nice cross section of SF, the spectator support is great, and this is a distance that isn't contested much.
