WHAT OUR RUNNERS
HAVE TO SAY

"This is one of the funnest races in the world. It’s a not just a running race, but a festival. So, you can run, walk, and drink! I highly recommend you if you want to have a fun during running. You’ll be sure to want to join the race again!"

"This race is more about the journey than the finish line. It’s people watching, crazy costumes, and the pure joy of a 12K long party! Highly recommended for the experience and memories!"

“Bay to Breakers has it all. The runners are there to party and have a great time start to finish. The shirt is great, the medals are fantastic. Hayes hill is no joke. But the crowds along the course cheered everyone on. This race is a must!"

FAQ

  • What is the virtual run?

    For those that are unable to join us in San Francisco for the traditional Bay to Breakers event, you can participate in the virtual run.  Virtual runners can run a course/route of their choosing and submit proof of their run via our submission link to get credit for completing the Bay to Breakers event.

     

    What distances are offered for the Virtual Run?

    The virtual run is offered for the 12K and 15K(12K + 3K).

     

    How does it work?

    Virtual runners can plan their own course/route and run either the 12K (7.45 miles) or 15K(9.32 miles) distance on their own.  Submit the proof of your run via our submission link and you will receive your race packet mailed to you after the fact.  Race proof can be:

    • Photo proof of your tracking device showing the date and distance

    • Link to Garmin, MapMyRun, Nikeplus, RunKeeper, Runtastic or Strava tracking

     

    I am participating in the Golden State Challenge.  Will the virtual race qualify me to keep my status?

    Yes!  Participating as a virtual runner will qualify you for the Golden State Challenge.

     

    Do I need to register as a virtual runner?

    Yes.  All those participating in the virtual run must be registered in the 12K Virtual Runner race category.  If you're not yet registered, look for the Virtual race option at the bottom of the registration form to select your distance.

    If you're registered for the in-person race, you can switch to the virtual race.  Participants can email info@baytobreakers.com with a request to change your race to the virtual event at no charge.  

    The deadline to be switched to a virtual runner is May 20, 2024.

     

    Do I need to pick up my race packet?

    No.  Virtual runners are NOT able to pick up their race packets at the Race Expo.  Race packets will be mailed to virtual runners after they have submitted their race results via the submission link.

     

    When can I run my virtual race?

    You may complete your virtual race prior to May 15th but you will need to submit your proof of finish when the Virtual Submission Link goes live around on Race Weekend.

     

    Where can I submit my virtual race proof?

    A submission link will be emailed to all virtual runners on Saturday before the race.  You can submit your proof via the Submission Link.  The deadline to submit race proof is June 15th.  If you haven't received the email with instructions, please email us: info@baytobreakers.com and we will get it to you as soon as we can, which might be when we get back in from the race.

     

    When can I expect to receive my race packet?

    Race packets will be mailed out within 2–4 weeks of the 2024 submission date, June 15th.  You will receive an email notification with tracking information as soon as your race packet is ready to ship.  You must submit your virtual race proof to receive your race packet.

     

    What can I expect in my race packet?

    You will receive the same race goodies as our in-person participants.  You will receive your race bib, official race shirt, and your finisher medal.
