Bay to Breakers was first run in 1912 as a way to boost the morale of San Francisco residents impacted by the 1906 earthquake, according to the San Francisco Travel Association.
It has only paused since then during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains the world’s oldest annual footrace, per the San Francisco Chronicle.
