For many, the day after Prom was spent sleeping or nursing themselves back to health.

But for a few of the braver students, the “morning after” consisted of spandex, tons of water and a death wish running the annual 12K footrace: Bay to Breakers.

Sami Schoenfeld, junior, participated in this year’s race and finished with a time of 1:15:00.

She has run the race three times previously and ran with a few friends the morning after Prom.

“Surprisingly, I wasn’t even that tired when I woke up that morning,” said Schoenfeld. “I had stayed up to almost 4 a.m. after Prom and at first I was excited about running the 12K, but once I started running it was so hard.”

The race starts at the San Francisco Bay, crosses the city, and ends at the Pacific Ocean.

The 99th annual Bay to Breakers happened the third Sunday of May and hosted runners all the way from Kenya, China, and Australia.

Only half of the 66,000 participants were registered runners and walkers.

The world-class runners, costumed joggers, and drunken race-enthusiasts represented the colorful aspect of the sport.

Kenyan racers Lineth Chepkurui and Sammy Kitwara won the event. Chepkurui came in first in the Women’s Division with a time of 00:38:07. Kitwara won the Men’s Division with a time of 00:34:15.

After the official race ended and the serious runners finished, many students and Bay Area citizens walked or jogged the after party parade with their colorful costumes and lively personalities.

Alex Akers, junior, walked the route with friends starting around noon.

She said she felt that the participants of the event were exciting to be around, and loved the atmosphere.

“When my friends woke me up to go, I really didn’t want to because I was so exhausted, but they eventually convinced me and it was completely worth it,” Akers said. “I considered it my marathon weekend: first Prom, then Bay to Breakers, but it was totally worth it. I was definitely feeling the effects that Monday, though.”

As the race is the 14th most-run foot race in the world and fourth longest run annually, participants like to express themselves with a variety of outfits and spirit.

“Everyone was so excited, running around San Francisco. It was fun to see all the costumes,” Akers said. “There was even a huge bubble bath with people dancing on the edges. It was kind of like LoveFest or Power to the Peaceful in that way.”

Next year San Francisco will celebrate its 100th year of Bay to Breakers with an even bigger celebration of a century of crazy costumes, dedicated athletes, and inebriated extroverts.
