LOS ANGELES, Oct. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Bimbo, the world's leading bakery group, recently held the ninth edition of the Bimbo Global Race. The event was held globally in 3, 5 and 10 km formats and brought together more than 300 thousand runners, making it one of the largest charity races in the world. They participated in person and virtually, reaching the goal of donating more than 3 million slices of bread to food banks. The Bimbo Global Race is part of the company’s commitment to the communities where it operates, helping those who need it most, in line with its purpose of "Nourishing a Better World."  

Alberto Levy, VP of Global Marketing, said: "We are very grateful to the people who have registered for the physical race and the virtual format, donating their bit of flour so that together we can help feed those who need it most. For every runner who registers for the physical race, Grupo Bimbo will donate 20 slices of bread, and for every runner who registers for the virtual format, 2 slices will be donated. Through this joint effort, we will donate more than 3 million slices to food banks. We are excited and proud to be a global company that has brought together more than 300,000 runners to help Nourish A Better World.”
