PRESIDIO 10 RACE CLOSES BOTH GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE SIDEWALKS

The annual Presidio 10 Race, benefiting The Guardsmen and The Ashlyn Dyer Foundation, will take place on Sunday morning April 18, 2010, in The Presidio of San Francisco. The run starts at 8 am from nearby Golden Gate National Recreation Area Crissy Field, Sports Basement, 610 Old Mason Street and heads directly to the WEST SIDEWALK of the Golden Gate Bridge. Runners then return south using the EAST SIDEWALK.

Due to the large numbers of race participants (up to 3,000), from approximately 7:30 am to approximately 10:00 am, the EAST and WEST SIDEWALKS BE CLOSED to all other access including pedestrians and bicyclists. During this time, bicyclists and pedestrians may use the free bike shuttle which will operate in both directions across the Bridge.

The Guardsmen is a service organization of Bay Area professional men that, since 1947, has devoted its efforts to providing disadvantaged youth an opportunity to participate in camping, educational and other culturally enriching opportunities that they otherwise would not be afforded.

The donation of Ashlyn Dyer's organs gave the gift of life to many. In this same spirit, The Ashlyn Dyer Foundation for Neurological Research and Support has been created to honor her memory by making a positive impact for others affected with Traumatic Brain Injury.
