Year after year, San Francisco promises to crack down on Bay to Breakers. Yet every year, Bay to Breakers seems to grow bigger and quirkier. We captured some scenes to paint a picture of yesterday's event.
It wouldn't be Bay to Breakers without some salmon making their way upstream ... or showing off a little skin.
These "Despicable" characters waited for their fellow minions on the corner of Laguna and Hayes.
Life-size board games are always a crowd pleaser.

Officers guarded Alamo Square, which was fenced off for the event.
Private security, Wastebusters and cops pitched in to try and keep the event clean and orderly.
The two on the left have been friends for 2.5 seconds ... but we assume the two on the right have known each other a bit longer.
And finally, a time-lapse view of just what happens along the Hayes Street Hill over the course of the day, courtesy of Paul Supawanich:
Chime in if you saw something noteworthy at this year's festivities.
