Bay to Breakers
Some are serious runners; many wear costumes to walk it just for fun.

Watch for the signature ”centipedes,” creatively costumed groups of 13 or more.

Every year San Francisco Public Library celebrates the month with HERstory, honoring and acknowledging the contributions of women and the experience of being female today. All year round, the Library champions women writers, artists, academics and professional leaders in their fields.
