because i'm celebrating today. if i was going to be running today, i would probably have this cap on as well. good morning, people. we are here today to kick off what is the 100th anniversary of our data breakers. 100 years ago, bought in 1912 ran the first cross country race in san francisco -- bob. he won the race in 44 minutes and 10 seconds, i think it was. 100 years later, we are still celebrating that run. the neat thing about it is we have not only kept the new history of this, but we understand that bob's grandson, bob burnett from houston, texas, in celebration of his grandfather's run 100 years ago, will also be running in this

year's beta breakers race for the first time. wherever you are, we will see you at 7:00 on sunday, and hopefully, you have a fantastic race because it will be one that i think will be a very celebrating race with our new sponsors and all of the volunteers we have. today, i want to present to you a host of people that will be speaking about not only this race but the excitement we have in hosting this wonderful base to continue making it part of the tradition of san francisco -- the fun part of san francisco. what i also want to let you know is that while we have some new rules to share, we are also instilling a number of exciting things that we want to make sure the people who registered and the 100,000 spectators, the 55,000 registrants already experienced just a wonderful event in the city. at the start at 7:00 in the morning. that is what i call golfers time.

but it will start a little earlier, but it will also end up at the speedway medal in the golden gate park. that will be the new and where the party any handouts will be had in the same tradition, so it will not end in the beach. it will end at speedway medals in golden gate park. this year, we are emphasizing it will be fun. it will be in true -- in the tradition that the beta breakers always has been, and that is that you can wear any wacky uniform that you want. unfortunately, my wife got rid of my spider-man out a long time ago, so i will not be able to do that, but i will be watching all the fun that all the people have. and, of course, we will have our people in the blue costumes this year, watching out for everybody else and their safety and making sure it is also the safest run we have as well. i wanted to take this

opportunity to present to the executives of the beta breakers race this year a proclamation declaring it to be bitter breakers weekend in san francisco. come on up. angela is our new general manager this year. to kick it off, i wanted to make sure she got the proclamation that declares this -- there are a lot of whereases here, and you will not be able to read as you are running in the race and it. angela is here today along with executives. she will be speaking in a minute. we also have our public safety department, our police department. they will be talking about new rules. i also want to make sure that you hear from representatives -- members of our alamo square neighborhood association, and, of course, our red cross is here

as well. i think to take off with the rules chief. [applause] >> thank you, mr. mayor. i have to bring it down a little bit and be the rule back, and then we will pick it up a little bit again with happy talk after that. i love the bay to breakers. we have policed the beta breakers for a long time, but to make sure it is here in another 100 years, we have to be safe and considered of everyone along the route. this year, alcohol and flows have been banned. they pose a significant safety hazard and negatively impact the neighborhoods. they contribute largely to that, and we have to be considered to everybody along the route. to keep everybody comfortable, i know when people are running, it is a long ways, but it is only about a quarter of the link the marathon is. if you have to go, you have to go. please it one of the 1200-plus

for the parties that will be along the route instead of going in somebody's garden. zero tolerance for public drunkenness or the public consumption of alcohol. we will be exercising with as much discretion as we can strict enforcement on anybody that is influencing anybody else's good time or their neighborhood. the news's behavior has got to go away in favor of good, clean fun. so have a blast. beta breakers.
