Shoes, Shoes and More Shoes!

After a year-long process of collecting used shoes, over 50 volunteers gathered last Saturday at Belvedere Middle School and counted 18,302 shoes! SRLA hopes to break the Guinness World Record for "Most Shoes Collected for Recycling," which currently stands at 16,407 shoes.*

Shoes will be donated to SA Recycling, and a portion of the profits will go back to SRLA to fund scholarships for graduating seniors.

The idea for this event came from SRLA Co-Founder Harry Shabazian. Read Harry's interview and find out more on our blog.

*Note: While it would appear that SRLA has broken the existing world record, it still needs to be authenticated with the Guinness Book.

SRLA Leader Conference

On Tuesday, July 29th over 200 SRLA Leaders gathered for a full day conference at the California Endowment for the Arts, where they learned about Nutrition, Runner Injuries, Runner Etiquette and more. At the end of the conference, the group ventured over to Dodger Stadium to watch the Dodgers handily defeat the Atlanta Braves!
