Introduction
San Antonio Sports is excited to bring you the inaugural School Rock Challenge for all K-5th grade youth in the greater San Antonio area. School Rock Challenge is a unique partnership with Competitor Group, Inc. and the Rock n’ Roll San Antonio Marathon & ½ Marathon.
This training program will allow you to run, walk, or jog a full marathon (26.2 miles) over a 10-week period. Use your training log each day to help you know how far you should go.
On November 13, the final day of School Rock Challenge, all elementary schools will hold a Celebration Day where you will run your last mile of the marathon together. For those who complete the challenge, you will receive a commemorative wristband at your school to recognize your accomplishment.
School Rock Challenge is all about getting fit, being a part of the marathon excitement and reaching the finish line.
Tell us how your school marked the beginning of the challenge. Submit photos and let us know how you're doing. We'll post your stories and photos, so check back here frequently. We'll also post updates on the program.
If you want an expert to visit your school to discuss proper hydration, clothing, shoes and nutrition, contact Dr. Andrea Duke at 210.820.2102 or aduke@sanantoniosports.org. She'll arrange for a trainer with one of the local running groups to come to your school.
MOST OF ALL, HAVE FUN!
