Reminder - Runners High Documentary on KQED on Sunday
Friends of SRO,
This Sunday, November 9th, KQED will be airing "Runners High," a documentary about Students Run Oakland, at 6pm.
As you know, Students Run Oakland is a comprehensive youth development program that uses the challenge of training for a marathon (26.2 miles) to help students develop long-term goals, improve health, and overcome obstacles. SRO builds confidence and resiliency skills, and reinforces the values of commitment and hard work. Students draw on these values for achievement in academics and other areas throughout their lives.
At the start of the season, most of our students cannot run one lap around their high school track (1/4 mile). SRO's cumulative success rate for completing the Los Angeles Marathon is 97%, and for the last two seasons, 100% of the students experienced the tremendous pride of crossing the finish line.
"Runners High" follows a complete season, and is a great way to learn more about our students and our program.
