The Bay to Breakers (ING Bay to Breakers for sponsorship reasons) is an annual footrace which takes place in San Francisco, California on the third Sunday of May. The name 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).

there are plenty of people whi want to regisster for the 2010 bay breakers race, eh? Well you've come to the right spot. First off, THANK YOU for supporting the event through registration!

In February 2009, city officials and race sponsors announced major changes to the race regulations. The regulations included an official ban on floats, alcohol, drunkenness and nudity.The changes were made to assuage the concerns of San Francisco residents along the parade route, who say the race has gotten out of hand in recent years.The news sparked outrage amongst many Bay Area residents who said the changes would destroy everything that has made the race a national treasure for most of the last century.On February 27, 2009, city officials and race organizers announced that they were lifting many of the restrictions.In particular, floats will now be allowed as long as they are registered, and nudity is not mentioned anywhere in the new restrictions. Although the bans on alcohol and drunkenness technically remain in effect, all "zero tolerance" language has been removed.
Second, there are plenty of ways to register for the event. Want to get a group of friends together dressed as tutu-wearing superheroes? Check out the group discounts.
