Sacramento's laid-back version of San Francisco's "Bay to Breakers" race is entering its 3rd year. It is held on the 3rd Sunday in May (the 18th for 2008).

The Sacramento race has been named "J to Steakers" because it will begin on J Street, in front of Urban Fitness (between 25th and 26th) and will end at the La Fiesta Taqueria on Alhambra Blvd (approximately half a mile away) where participants will eat carne asada tacos (aka "steakers").

J to Steakers is part of the Minnick Web Services "Have some fun. Make some money." initiative, which seeks to create balance between the work and personal lives of Minnick Web Services' employees and partners and to create and maintain a creative and fun work environment.

Sponsors for the event include Minnick Web Services, Rogers Screen Printing, Cuffs Urban Apparel, Bearded Lady Buttons, Urban Fitness, and PeptoGirl Industries.

Proceeds from the sale of t-Shirts will be donated to Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary.

Anyone who wishes to participate should show up at 26th and J Street at noon on Sunday, May 18th. Participants must purchase their own tacos and beverages. A limited number of J to Steakers t-shirts will be available for $15 each.
