Organization and Sponsorship
The Bay to Breakers is organized by the Philip Anschutz-owned Anschutz Entertainment Group.
Anschutz also owns The San Francisco Examiner, which assumed sponsorship of the race in 1966. From 2003 to 2005, Albertsons was the event's main sponsor. The ING Group was the primary sponsor for the Bay to Breakers from 2006 to 2010. On May 26, 2010, spokesmen for the Bay to Breakers and ING confirmed that ING chose not to renew their sponsorship for the 100th edition of the race in 2011.
On March 18, 2011, race organizers announced Zazzle, a Bay Area-based e-commerce company manufacturing custom user-generated products, as the title sponsor for the event's 2011 centennial running, as well as for the 101st running in 2012.
