ABOUT BAY TO BREAKERS TRAINING PLANS
The Bay to Breakers race is held on the third Sunday in May in beautiful San Francisco, California. It's a 7.46-mile race that starts at the northeast end of downtown San Francisco near the Bay and travels west to finish at the Great Highway, where the breakers crash onto Ocean Beach. This race has been a treasured San Francisco celebration since 1912. If you're getting ready to take part in this unique spectacle, train for your race with Custom Training Plans. We work with professional trainers to develop customized Bay to Breakers training plans for every runner. Each Bay to Breakers training program is designed to help you feel confident when you reach the start line near the Embarcadero.
Bay to Breakers is one of the most infamous running events in the United States. The attendance at past editions of Bay to Breakers have set Guinness World Records; today, the race is run by some 20,000 official entrants. As one might expect for a race in the Bay Area, the first three miles are dominated by a rise that begins gradually and then ramps up just before mile marker 3. From there, the route trends downhill to the finish near Ocean Beach. CTP’s Bay to Breakers training plans help you train for the terrain with running workouts that include hill repeats and intervals to increase your power and endurance. Our plans prepare you for every step, from start to finish.
When you choose a customized CTP Bay to Breakers training plan, you can feel confident that you’re working out at the right intensity. Our training plans are customized to fit your current level of fitness, helping you to avoid injury as you progress toward race day. Whether you’re taking on your first B2B or you’re looking to beat your previous time, a 12-week Bay to Breakers training plan that’s made for you can give you an edge.

Our method
-
With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.
-
We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.
-
Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
