Drinking is the unofficial rule of Bay to Breakers. A marathon is not a street fair. If you are going to encourage drinking then the City needs to pick a specific location with finite parameters and keep people there to gather and party.

 

The nature of the event does not work with how the "race" is organized and moves through the city. Check out more photos from Tahoma99 here: sfist.com/2010/05/17/bay_to_breakers_runners_use_tehama.p...

 

If it's a race, there shouldn't be drinking, if its a parade, there shouldn't be drinking, if its a street fair, bare it all, freedom love fest, move it to the Polo Fields for a frolicking good time. But letting this mess move through the streets of SF knowing that over 30k have no official connection to the race but will be showing up creates a public need for adequate resources like bathrooms. There is no way around the fact that we have 60k or more people drinking and swarming our neighborhoods and behaving rudely, disrespectfully and aggressively.
