The 101st Zazzle Bay to Breakers was once again a great success with fun to be had for all on a glorious morning in the city of San Francisco. The race went off without a hitch, and we have ourselves som winners.
Per the San Francisco Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub on Twitter:
#BaytoBreakers winners now official: Mamitu Daska for the women (39:02); Sammy Kitwara (34:40) for the men.
