From Bay to Breakers 

SAN FRANCISCO (May 15, 2011) - Ridouane Harroufi of Morocco won the 100th Zazzle Bay to Breakers 12K in 34 minutes, 26 seconds, becoming his country's first athlete to ever win the race in its century of existence. 

Harroufi is the first non-Kenyan male to win in 20 years. Lineth Chepkurui of Kenya, the returning female winner and world record holder in the Women's Division, again finished first in the Women's Division with a time of 39:12.

Harroufi and Chepkurui were also the first male and female to cross the summit at Hayes Street Hill.

The first Americans to finish was Jason Hartmann, 30, of Boulder, Colo., who edged out fan favorite Meb Keflezighi for sixth place in 35:28. Olympian Keflezighi was seventh in 35:34.  The last time an American man won the race was Ed Eyestone's 1986 victory.

The Dream Mile is the flagship event in Vibha's continued efforts to increase awareness about the plight of underprivileged children. It has come a long way since its inception in 1998. It has grown from being a small event attended primarily by volunteers and friends to a permanent fixture on the calendars of runners in the various cities in America. The increasing participation and enthusiasm for this event just goes to show how strongly people feel about the cause of underprivileged children.
