The San Francisco Bay to Breakers race was born six years after the 1906 earthquake. Over the years, the race has mushroomed in size: popular enthusiasm for running in the 1980s pushed race participation to 110,000 by 1986 making that year's race the world's largest footrace, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
We "ran" the race in 1 hour 45 minutes, the Kenyan winner did it under 35 minutes.
