Fans cheering in a football stadium at a college game

Collegiate Sports

The city of San Francisco doesn’t have a particularly popular college sports team, but there are multiple universities in the region with big team followings. Rent a charter bus for your alumni group or academic club:

University of California, Berkeley

The University of California, Berkeley (Cal) has given college football some of its memorable plays over the program’s 135-year span. Along with a decorated football team, Cal also has outstanding basketball, gymnastics, swimming, diving, track, and field programs (just to name a few).

Aside from games during major professional and college sports seasons, San Francisco also has other major sporting events like races. Here are a couple of events that San Francisco   Charter Bus Company can help your group travel to:

People partying in the streets during Bay to Breakers 2011 in San Francisco

Bay to Breakers

May

After a major earthquake in 1906, Bay to Breakers was started as a way to lift the city’s morale and spirits. Today, this annual 12-kilometer footrace is one of the biggest events of its kind on the west coast. The race’s name originates from its route from The Embarcadero to Great Highway near Ocean Beach. Guests are encouraged to wear costumes and get groups together to participate in the race. Spectators will also find concerts and house parties along the race route. Just think of Bay to Breakers as a 12-kilometer moving costume party!

Charter bus rental travel tip: If you have a group coming from a distance to attend the race, traveling to the starting point near The Embarcadero may be easier with a private charter bus rental. Finding parking for multiple cars will be exceptionally difficult with closed roads. Consolidating everyone onto a minibus rental can make traveling into the city a little easier.

Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon

June

Escape from Alcatraz is considered one of the most difficult triathlons in the country. It originated

as a members-only event started by a local club but soon split into two events. Today, one of the triathlons is open to the public and brave athletes can register for the grueling course. The course includes a 1.5-mile swim, an 18-mile bike ride, and an 8-mile run from Alcatraz Island in the Bay to Marina Green.

Charter bus rental travel tip: Escape from Alcatraz works with a few companies to transport bikes for attendees. Groups of triathlon athletes coming from out of town may want to consider a spacious charter bus rental to comfortably travel into San Francisco with equipment.
