100-mile relay race from San Francisco to Oakland

This was a huge competition every year, around the bay, 100 miles, from San Francisco to Oakland through San Jose. Each team had ten men who raced ten mile legs, taking a relay from the previous rider of their team and handing off to the next. It was club against club but also man against man.

This route, for the 1896 100-mile relay race from San Francisco to Oakland, from Great Hundred-Mile Relay Race to Be Run To-Morrow - The San Francisco Call, 11 Apr 1896, shows the use of the San Bruno road, as opposed to the San Jose road, for the exit from San Francisco.
