Annual Bay to Breakers Race

Sunday, May 20: The annual Bay to Breakers Race will take place. The SFMTA will provide pre- and post-race service on several Muni rail lines and bus routes for the event.

One of the largest running events in the world, Bay to Breakers will close many streets from the starting line at Main and Howard streets on the east side of San Francisco to the finishing line on the west side of the city on the Great Highway near Fulton Street. Once the race begins, travelers will only have two options to cross the north/south portion of the race course: The Embarcadero and Crossover Drive (which connects 19th Avenue, south of Golden Gate Park to Park Presidio Boulevard and 25th Avenue, north of Golden Gate Park). Travelers should expect delays due to street closures during the race and crowds of racers and spectators both before and after the race. The race will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude in the early afternoon.
