The Bay to Breakers race, held annually on the third Sunday in May, showcases a blend of serious competition and spirited fun in San Francisco. This year, approximately 25,000 participants, ranging from serious athletes to costumed revelers, gathered for the iconic event. Winners included Oscar Medina for the men and Julia Vasquez-Giguere for the women, both of whom discussed their strategies and experiences. The atmosphere was vibrant, highlighted by unique costumes and enthusiastic cheers from the community. Organizers reflected on the impressive turnout, emphasizing the race's appeal to both locals and visitors alike.
Even the new Pope, aka Nico Beardslee, mentioned, 'I don't know if that was the fastest Pope run ever, maybe a little close. We blessed the race.'
Oscar Medina, first Elite men's runner, said, 'Being from San Francisco, practicing with the hills, I decided to attack the second hill where I had a big gap.'
Julia Vasquez-Giguere, the top women's finisher, stated, 'This is my third Bay to Breakers win. I know the course well. It's always fun to soak up the energy.'
Irene Zhong, running in a hoop skirt, remarked, 'It was not as difficult as I imagined.'
