Run to the Far Side

The "Run to the Far Side" is another San Francisco institution. Every year on the Thanksgiving weekend people dress up as their favorite Far Side character and run / walk 5 or 10 kilometers through the Golden Gate Park. The race is sponsored by the California Academy of Sciences, one of the nicest San Francisco museums that comprises natural history, an amazing aquarium and a planetarium. The theme is obviously based on Gary Larson's witty "Far Side" cartoon series that introduces us to the every-day-life of wild animals, bacteria and microbes.
