Outdoor and recreational events at San Francisco, California -
Bay Breakers. The third week in May. An annual race which is one of the largest in the country. Route runs from Downtown to the Ocean Beach. Many runners do it all in costume, wearing anything from elaborate costumes to wearing almost nothing at all, lending a party atmosphere to the event.
Critical Mass. On the last Friday of every month, a bike in
San Francisco (and about 200 cities around the world think the same) gathered at the north end of Market Street at the Embarcadero and ride en masse to some destination, militant demonstrate their right to occupy the road. If you are driving in
San Francisco on a Critical Mass, you will want to listen to radio traffic reports, but if you are stopped by the mass the best thing to do is keep a good sense of humor and remember that it will all pass in about 5 minutes. Though, and emotions can flare, and there are cases where run ins with drivers and cyclists get violent. If your car is surrounded by bike, certainly not move until they graduate or they may feel threatened.
Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. The second Sunday in June. Participants (which often include world champions and Olympic medalists) swim 1.5 miles through chilly waters, bike 18 miles, and then run an additional 8 miles. The course winds its way around the city, but the transition and finish line at the Marina Green in the Golden Gate.

Sunday fleet, Fisherman's Wharf. Usually held in the first week of October, it is a tribute to the men and women in the armed forces. A fleet of Navy ships dock on the Wharf in parade fashion, and there are many tourist Deck available free from the crew. There are also several air displays by the Navy flyers.
Sunday Streets. Weeks in the summer, various locations. See website for where and when that happened Sunday Streets and head out for some good times with other pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, roller skaters, etc. The car started from the streets for a few hours so that the environment becomes alive. There are food vendors, bike workshops, musical performances, and all sorts of other great events. Sunday Streets is modeled after Ciclovia of Bogotá.
