Hot Bay To Breakers Costume For 2011: Dressing Up As An Official Runner

With SFPD and race organizers getting aggro over people planning on having fun at the 100th Bay to Breakers this Sunday, spectators have found a way to avoid the illegal-yet-promised “sobering tents” and course closures: wearing your own race bib.  Citizens for the Preservation of Bay2Breakers has the scoop:

Word on the street is that this year’s #1 trending costume for the 100th Bay to Breakers is…wait for it…dressing up as a registered runner. Yes, you too can dress up as a “registered runner” printing your very own faux bib at home (or Kinko’s). Your timing chip won’t work, of course, but hey, who said you would be trying to make record time carrying that keg over the Hayes Street hill anyway?

Apparently AEG is so concerned with people printing out their own bibs for the sold out race (available as a PDF and Photoshop file), they actually pressured Facebook into censoring the spread of these bibs, suggesting they realize this trick might work.  So if you want to 'run' without worrying about SFPD killing the parade of drunk, go forth and print one of these badboys out.

Also, we recommend knowing your rights before heading out on Sunday.
