Bay To Breakers

The ING Bay To Breakers is world class, highly competitive road race. It also gives people an opportunity to get drunk, stoned, and walk/run naked  through the streets of San Fransisco.
In other words, it's the greatest running event in the world.


I've never been, but from the looks of it, I really need to get out there.
