What families say
“Thank you so much for being with us in every race and for supporting everyone in RunStrong and for buying us those shoes. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to run in the 3 races. Thank you so much for the shirts and bags.” — ~ Eric, McFadden Intermediate School
“This was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had - it was so amazing the way they take pictures of you at the finish line. Not only that, but they gave us snacks and small prizes. Never have I ever run a 5k. I would like to thank you again.” — ~ Diana, Carr Intermediate School in Santa Ana, California
“I would like to thank you all for the chance to run my first official race event. Even though we signed up to complete the 5k run, I missed the turn and ran the entire half marathon! It was the longest run I have completed, but I never thought about giving up.” — ~ Juan, Sierra Intermediate School in Santa Ana, California
