Diamond Foods Sponsors 2013 Emerald Across the Bay 12K, the Oldest Race Over the Golden Gate Bridge
March 21 2013 - 7:20PM
Diamond Foods, Inc. (Nasdaq:DMND) announced today it has once again
sponsored a successful
Emerald Across the Bay 12K,
the oldest race over the Golden Gate Bridge. Celebrating its 30th
year running, this year's race took place on St. Patrick's Day, the
date that marks the race's origin. With beautiful weather and over
4000 participants (runners, volunteers, spectators) the
12-kilometer course was from Sausalito to San Francisco. The race
featured a two hundred fifty foot climb in its first two
miles, from sea level to the center span of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Race proceeds will support San Francisco's oldest charity,
Edgewood Center for Children & Families. For over 160 years,
Edgewood Center for Children and Families has been a leading
non-profit organization that transforms lives and restores hope to
thousands of children, youth and families across the Bay Area.
Edgewood promotes behavioral health services that support children
and families with the resources and skills they need to thrive in
life.
Tag lined "A Celebration of Running," the Emerald 12K featured a
group of children from the [or related with the] Edgewood Center
running the race. "Training for and participating in a run teaches
children and adults alike how to set and achieve goals while
building self-esteem and promoting healthier lifestyles," said Andy
Allcock, Director of Marketing for Emerald. "Emerald is a brand
committed to promoting healthy and active lifestyles."
Emerald returned for the tenth year as the title sponsor of the
Emerald Across the Bay 12K. With its mission to provide delicious
natural energy to consumers, Emerald's products are the perfect
fuel to get runners through their training regimen. Emerald's
newest innovations to hit the market are its Vanilla Roast Almonds
and Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter and Jelly mixed nut blend.
Among many returning runners, Sergio Reyes from Los Osos, CA won
the men's overall division with a time of 36:36. Sergio also won in
2012, 2010, 2008, 2007 and came in second in 2011 and 2009. Maggie
Conley of Portola Valley, CA won the women's division, with a time
of 43:39.
