Women's World Best for 12K Set at 99th Annual ING Bay to Breakers
SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The 99th annual ING Bay to Breakers 12K, one of the world's
largest and oldest footraces, today made world history with Lineth
Chepkurui of Kenya finishing in 38:07 in the Women's Division. Sammy
Kitwara of Kenya became a back-to-back winner at the race with the time
of 34:15. Kitwara broke the world record last year in the Men's Division
for 12K by finishing in 33:31.
"The ING Bay to Breakers race continues to attract world-class athletes

each year," said Angela Fang, general manager of ING Bay to Breakers.
"We can't wait until the race's 100th anniversary next year
which, if today is any indication, will be as record-breaking and
exciting as this year."
