San Francisco: Bay to Breakers 2007 - TravelPUNK Backpacker College Student Budget Travel Message Boards!

So every year, we have this 7.5 mile footrace across the city called Bay to Breakers. It starts off with the serious runners, who run from the east end of the city in downtown to the west end at Ocean Beach, with massive Hayes Street Hill in the middle.

As for the rest of it, it's more like a drunken parade of runners and (mostly) walkers, often in costume, carrying camelbacks of booze or shopping carts full of beer and making for an insane 8am-noon roving party through the city.

Anyway, it's a real slice of San Francisco, and I thought I'd share with you guys my group's shenanigans. Enjoy!

Man that looks like a lot of fun. I'd pass out by Milepost 2 if I started drinking that early in the morning though.

Hahaha.. to be honest, most of us quit around Mile 6 and caught a bus to the bars to go post-partying. The finish line is too far from most public transit

Seems like San Francisco is the launch city for
TWO new airline startups this year.

Virgin American
&

BoneAir

I think I know which one I'd prefer being an elite on :D

And of course...

"Decent party...I can't believe the naked guy showed"
(+5 for naming the movie)

Great pictures Omi...seems like quite the fun party!

(Hope you don't mind me putting the two pictures onto ImageShack so they'd display in the post)

Only Jeremy Piven's greatest role ever.

I'd have agreed with you prior to Entourage. That show is Jeremy Piven 100%.
