Bay to Breakers (SF 12K run)

"Bay to Breakers" is a major San Francisco event where each year, 40-50 thousands people will gather at one end of the city and run to the other end, covering a total of 12km. It is not your usual running event though, more like a second Halloween in a year; just look at the pics below...


Me posing with a fellow "runner"...I don't think it's a fair game at all...he's got wings man..


The "calm" before the storm???? It was raining tortillas before the start of the race...apparently a tradition of the event...yeah i know, it's a complete and utter waste of food, but hell lot of fun!


A dejected Roman soldier sits alone after being abandoned by his comrades...


Some runners, mostly beyond their 50s (at least those I've seen), chose to be go the all-natural route...evidently, the young and naked crowd were mostly at the back of the pack...hmm, something tells me I shouldn't have run so fast..


This guy REALLY likes balloons!


Now that's what I call teamwork man! Be prepared to suffer from a crushing neck if you run slower than the rest of the team...


...a car...a slow car...


An upslope stretching over about 6 blocks...


The Roman soldier press on...


Shong: I'm good...you?


Me: Good to go...


Flash getting interviewed...tell you one thing thou..Flash aint like what his name would suggest...I saw 2 Batman and 1 superwoman cross the finish line before him...


The race ends at the west end of the city...behind me is the roaring pacific ocean...


Another dude getting over-excited over the fact that he is naked...


These guys must have had a hard time running with the Ostrich necks sticking up
