BAY TO BREAKERS
COSTUMES

  BAY TO BREAKERS IS ONE OF THE WACKIEST GATHERINGS OF PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.  IT’S THE WORLD’S LARGEST RUNNING EVENT, AS WELL AS THE OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY RUN FOOT RACE IN EXISTENCE.  TAKING PLACE IN SAN FRANCISCO IN THE MONTH OF MAY, ABOUT 100,000 PEOPLE RUN, WALK, CRAWL, BOUND, AND USE WHATEVER OTHER FORM OF LOCOMOTION THEY CAN COME UP WITH TO COVER THE 12K DISTANCE. THE RACE IS ALSO INFAMOUS FOR ITS WACKY COSTUMES, HERDS OF GROUPED “CENTIPEDE” RUNNERS, NAKED PEOPLE, AND PLENTY OF ZANINESS.
   I’VE MANAGED TO WIN THE COSTUME CONTEST SEVERAL TIMES, BOTH AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND AS A GROUP, AS WELL AS FINISHING IN THE TOP FIVE SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. THE RACE IS A PERFECT COMBINATION FOR ME - CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION IN DESIGNING AND BUILDING THE COSTUMES, COMBINED WITH THE PHYSICAL EXERCISE OF DOING THE RACE:
INSPIRATION AND PERSPIRATION!
