Various years' photos of the

Bay to Breakers Race

San Francisco

The Bay to Breakers race is the largest footrace in the world. One of the ways it keeps itself that way is to permit men and women to run it (or walk it) naked! Nude runners are not officially permitted, but they have been tolerated for the past several years.

We actually walked the entire race in 1998 (nude, of course!), and walked most of it in 1999. In 2000, we forgot about it entirely (honest!), and in 2001 we set up a contraption in the trunk of a rental car to catch as many of the runners as we could as they ran by.

Almost all the pages on this site are free! However, photo enlargements containing what you're looking for (ahem) are usually not free. JOIN and get access to them -- plus all kinds of other benefits!
