Many thanks everyone! I always look forward to my thread, one of the best of the year.

I'm fascinated by this girl because a) she's crushing the run! and b) by running with her shorts in her hand and a number on her top, it seems like she showed up to race and said, hell, I'll do it naked! which I LOVE the idea of.

Thanks for the great pics!

This is awesome Flanker and thanks for posting! I love the fact that she is indeed a serious and seeded runner. This makes things even more exciting given how daring it is to run completely bottomless in the competitive portion of the race. Where can I find a girl like this? Dude, she's way cool and I love it!

Yea there were few naked people overall in my experience walking the race. I saw a lot more naked/ almost naked people at the gay pride parade last year.

Yep, terrible year for nudity. Cold windy morning and a bay to breakers organization media blitz saying nudity is banned. Hoping for a better 2015.

Yea it was a cold freezing wind too. I was walking around with my shirt off and I was freezing. The people walking around naked must have been really determined because it was too cold. Sadly, a week or 2 before this day, we had really hot weather here.

Sort of... there are no "bandit" runners allowed anymore. Everyone on the course is required to have a number, even walkers. So whether or not she planned on running naked she would have had a number. But yeah, she's a serious athlete.

And this isn't the only example of this happening. In past years I've noticed plenty of naked men among the serious runners, though rarely a female. One notable example was this girl in 2011.

She didn't have a number/timing chip (this was before they cracked down), so there was no way to tell what time she ran exactly, but in a B2B discussion thread someone else in her corral who finished shortly behind her estimated her time somewhere in the high 40's. That actually puts her time on par with the lower end of the professional female runners in the race. Later on it turned out that she was a scholarship track/cross country runner from a California University at the time (no, I don't recall which one, or her name, and even if I did it wouldn't be right to mention it), or at least that was the story.

Pretty cool, though, right?

Just to be clear about what a "seeded" runner is. She wasn't in the "competitive portion of the race." She was not a professional or in the running to win a prize. Seeded runners have logged good official times in other races, and therefore get bumped up into corrals where they're not forced to weave their way through meatheads. So she is a serious runner, much like a lot of weekend warriors, but not necessarily at a truly elite level.

Last couple for now. Pretty slim pickin's so far.
