One of San Francisco’s most famous races Bay to Breakers has a new sponsor and is seeing new rules this year.  New sponsor Zazzle is expecting a large number of runners and party goers at the seven mile race on Sunday.

With last years race causing a  need for increased security, the sponsor, city and neighbors came to a social agreement on the races’ 100th anniversary activities.  Stephanie Reichin, Bay to Breakers Spokeswoman, says  “Come to the race, just don’t come drunk”. Still some students are doubtful of the actual enforcement that is to happen at this years event.

There will be police checkpoints and wellness tents along the course to keep people from having open containers and floats. Tickets will be handed out for those who display being drunk in public and with open containers. No clarification on whether the fines will be increased for the day.
