Thanks for stopping by! About 30 to 45 minutes after the official start of the race, it starts to get chaotic. This is when the fun individual costumes and groups start to appear. Some groups pull together large structures and for a while the race resembles a parade--a really unorganized, yet fun, parade. The race starts near the Embarcadero in downtown SF the "bay". Runners head west across the city and end near the Pacific Ocean the "breakers". This is where the San Francisco Bay to Breakers race got its name.
After running through downtown San Francisco, the racers head down Hayes Street. This is where you will find some great viewing spots. From both of these places, you will get some great views and also get the chance to mingle with a few of the runners. I like to get to these places early to get a spot. I recommend that you arrive no later than am or 9am if you want to catch some of the best parts of the race. This is when the streets start to get crowded and thousands of costumed runners and groups provide unmatched entertainment.

Every year, you will see several people running in the nude. Public nudity is legal in the state of California.
However, in a controversial move, the SF Board of Directors approved an ordinance that makes nudity illegal in the city. It passed in a vote on November 20, This is a small part of the San Francisco Bay to Breakers race, but there were still several people running nude the last few years.
The cops did crack down on them last year and asked them to put their clothes back on. Many did, ran for a little while, and then removed them again without being hassled. People in the city like to bend the rules just a little, which is why I'm guessing you will still see a few brave souls running in the nude again during this year's San Francisco Bay to Breakers race.
Trains will start running around 6am and, before 8am, will run in 20 minute intervals. This will allow everyone the chance to arrive before the 8am start time.
Caltrain usually runs four special northbound trains on the morning of the race. They will all make limited stops. Visit the Caltrans site for more details on these four additional trains.
