About Bimbo Virtual Global Race

BIMBO GLOBAL RACE IS BACK!

Bimbo Bakeries USA is proud to host its 7th edition virtual race! After a successful inaugural virtual race in 2020, bringing together more than 20,000 participants in the U.S. alone, we are thrilled to be back and ready to run together. Last year, over 440,630 runners across 21 countries, 28 cities, and 80 virtual races, were able to help Bimbo donate over 3.5 million slices of bread.

The Bimbo Global Race was born from a dream to unite thousands of people around the world for a good cause. Throughout the years we’ve been present in 23 countries bringing our communities together and we will continue to be unified! On Monday, September 21st, we will be kicking off our virtual race for U.S. participants!
