Join Us on July 21 for Fleet Feet’s Annual Sunset Fun Run

One of our most loyal and consistent sponsors, Fleet Feet Sports in San Francisco, hosts its sixth annual Sunset Run to benefit Students Run Oakland on Thursday, July 21.

This is a fun, community-oriented run for Fleet Feet’s customers and SRO supporters. Proceeds from race registrations go 100% to help our kids. Fleet Feet has hosted this event on our behalf since 2006.

It’s a level, five-mile course along the San Francisco Bay, perfect for runners of all fitness levels. This is a super casual event – there is no timing, we don’t block roads, or use bib numbers. The run starts at 6:30 in the evening, so you get a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands as the sun settles into the Pacific. Each runner will get a technical t-shirt and there’s also a DJ, drinks, bagels, and lots of great raffle prizes. Pre-register for the Sunset Run for just $10! (Race day registration is $20.) For more details and to register, please visit the Fleet Feet website.

I’d like to give my personal thanks to Brett and Kim, the owners of Fleet Feet Sports, for their commitment to Students Run Oakland and for the many ways they help us help our kids.

I hope to see you there. Last year we had more than 300 folks participate, and we hope to top that number this year. Please mark your calendar and join us in the fun on Thursday, July 21.

In community,

Spencer
