This year's theme of Bay to Breakers was to be original and ABC7 News definitely saw that originality with creative costumes from twin squids, Sponge Bob and an endless army of super heroes. "I love Bay to Breakers! It's my 30th year running, I love the party," Phyllis Nabhan said.
Thousands of runners made the trek about seven miles from downtown San Francisco to the Great Highway, with top elite runners making it look easy.
Alaska Airlines sponsored the 12K journey from the Financial District to Ocean Beach. Organizers said at least 40,000 registered participants and 125,000 spectators attended the race.
