Supermarket Street Sweep is an annual charity bicycle race held in San Francisco, California. The race benefits the San Francisco Food Bank by tasking racers to collect both food and financial donations. The race is an Alleycat-style race that features specific tasks and checkpoints along the route for racers to complete. == History ==
The Supermarket Street Sweep, or "SMSW", was organized in 2006 by an all-volunteer group of friends headed by (Jenny Oh Hatfield ). Inspired by the (Cranksgiving Race ) in New York City - where she had lived for 13 years - Jenny spearheaded the effort to launch the Bay Area's version of a charity bicycle race that benefitted families in need. The name of the event is a comic reference to the former television game show, ''Supermarket Sweep''. The SMSW has established itself with an annual presence in the city of San Francisco with racers coming from all parts of California to participate.It has made a positive impact on the city's public battle with hunger and homelessness. Additionally, the 2010 event introduced a fund raising program for those unable to participate in the actual race (see categories below). The SMSW is a San Francisco Food Bank-sanctioned event that is often mentioned in its press releases, upcoming events and used as an example of how local action can result in a positive impact on poverty.
