Bay 2 Blackout 2026

San Francisco

There is a bag van for all trails
- If you are running trail, you can send more of your costume/hygiene clean up stuff with the bag van to have for party time. Don’t lug your shit around if you don’t have to.
Bring layers
- Sometimes B2B weekend is hot as fuck, sometimes it’s cold as balls. Be prepared to cover up or strip as needed!
Keep your wristband on at all times!
- This gets you into venues and gets you BEER!!
Carry cash & ID
- Seriously.

Walking or public transit (even though it’s busy) will most likely be easier than trying to take a car, but it will be slow. Don’t attempt to take a Lyft / Uber if you can help it — there are LOTS of street closures AND they’ll be CRAZY expensive. Plan on taking a MUNI bus or train, or BART.
NO BAGS are allowed on the Bay to Breakers course except clear plastic ones that are maximum size 8.5” x 11” like these. Don’t carry any regular backpacks, etc — if you absolutely need sunscreen / costume pieces/etc make sure to bring a clear one..
Also, they will take away alcohol. Never fear, we have plenty of drink checks planned off trail to wet your whistle!
We will be veering off course once we enter Golden Gate Park. Look for signs & true trail arrows and don’t get lost (but you can always catch up with us by following on Discord or Facebook.
Please bring cash to tip the bartenders at Neck of the Woods!! We want to be good guests and invited back!

Do I need to sign up for the B2B r*ce?

No, but we encourage you to support the cause since you will probably be using the r*ce bathrooms and such. The r*ce also pays for the street closures, cops, etc. You can buy a bib here if you decide to get one.

If I am a r*cist can I r*n B2B and then meet the hash?

Yes! Feel free to r*n the r*ce and get your medal (be ready for a down down) and meet us at the venue for food & circle afterwards.

What should I bring for the weekend?

Costumes! See the main event page for themes / more info.
R*nning attire (costumes or otherwise) for trail if you want to r*n
Any clothes for the rest of the weekend
Some warm clothes are suggested... SF can get chilly, especially at night
B bag for each day. Some trails are A to B! Trail will go directly to the venue each evening.

What do I bring to trail?

ID and $$$ for any bar checks (especially pub crawlers).
B bag (this will be in the B van) with any warm/dry clothes and costumes that you want for the night. We will be going straight from the trail start to each night's venue.
Money for transit - to trail start and from venue to your bed for the night

What if I only want to go for one day / can't go anymore?

One day registrations are available online and will be available at the door if you’re just cumming for part of the weekend!
If you can't attend anymore and are planning to sell/transfer your rego, you'll need to email us at gms@sfh3.com to complete the transfer. To do so, please provide us with the following information:
- Your email address, hash and muggle names
- The email address, hash and muggle names, and home kennel of the person to whom you'll be transferring
- Once received, we'll reach out to the that person via email to complete the transfer. Contact us at gms@sfh3.com for more information.

What are the best ways to get from the airport?

Want to carpool from the airport? Use our Discord channels to make plans and try to cum together!
Train: There’s also the BART train, which is a 30-ish minute straight shot from the SFO/Oakland airports and costs ~$20 round-trip depending on where you’re going. http://www.bart.gov/
Cars: From SOMA/downtown, the Mission, or anywhere else not buried too deeply in SF, a Lyft / Uber / Waymo costs about $30-50 dollars to/from the airport. Also handy for getting around town when drunk.
