Bay To Breakers 100 Scores Record Number Of Early Registrants

The 100th Bay to Breakers, which means the event is 17 years older than The Academy Awards (think about that), is posting a record number of early registrants for the running race held on May 15th (Which means this blogger had better hurry if running it for the 20th time is in order).

What this all means is all of the complaints of having a boring Bay to Breakers after bans on alcohol were installed obviously aren't coming from those who are signing up for it. The reason The Bay To Breakers draws people is that it's the Bay Area's ultimate expression of community, not of drinking.

Angela Fang, the race organizer, said it best: "The Bay to Breakers Centennial is a once in a lifetime San Francisco event for runners and walkers alike. We are thrilled at the unprecedented number of runners registering daily. This high participation speaks to the legacy the Bay to Breakers footrace and to its tremendous popularity."

Race organizers report that over 41,000 runners and walkers have already signed up and the entire process is set to close before the end of March. So, hurry up and register at www.baytobreakers.com .
