BAY TO BREAKERS.

Can a serious world-class footrace
be combined with a strolling clothing-optional party?
Only in San Francisco!
"Bay to Breakers" (aka Bare 2 Breakers, aka B2B) turns 95 this year.


The main commercial sponsor has changed (again),
but we expect clothing-optionality to continue.

SUN urges you to register, IF you can afford to.
However, even the poor can participate, registered or not.

http://www.INGbaytobreakers.com

[ Note: The official B2B website & literature may claim that nudity is forbidden;
but such disclaimers aren't "reality-based".
There will be at least two organized nude/topfree groups,
and more informal groups; plus lone streakers. ]
..........

21 May 2006
Sunday

PEACE WALKERS
@ Bay2Breakers

Nudes4peace gather at 9 am on Steiner Street,
at the north side of Hayes Street,
next to Alamo Square (park).
We'll watch Bay2Breakers runners, then join walkers.
Please bring peace signs, drums, flags.
All peaceful adults are welcome, clothed or not.

( Traditionally, B2B is clothing-optional. )

" ... A large crowd gathered at 11am at the Embarcadero for the day's major march. People from all walks of life were out in force, including, of course, thousands of immigrants from Mexico, Central America, Asia, Muslim countries, and Europe. Anarchists, communists, and socialists were present in large numbers, along with queer, transgender, labor, and student contingents....."
