While the annual running of Bay To Breakers is a great time for the participants, the race itself raises some headaches in regards to transportation to and from the event, as well as street closures to accommodate the event. For the 100th running of the event in 2011, the B2B organizers hhave put together a rundown of street closures surrounding the event. The list below includes streets along the entire course beginning in the Embarcadero, cutting through Hayes Valley, and continuing through Golden Gate Park to the end of the race at The Great Highway.
