Bay to Breakers 12K Run and Costume Party
Running. It’s a lifestyle, so they say, although it often seems like one that involves a whole lot of effort. And while there is certainly something to be said for either participating in a run or going to cheer on someone you know who is participating, it often feels that the moments of excitement are few and far between. Unless, that is, you happen to be witnessing or participating in the Bay to Breakers run in San Francisco.

MEX AM, an event geared to highlight the contributions of Mexico and Mexicans in artistic and other culturally enhancing spheres, will take place from May 1st and run until May 8th.
14th Annual Cinco de Mayo in The Mission
