SRLA held its first long-distance race inside the LA Arboretum.
As SRLA student blogger Christine describes, it was a beautiful setting filled with many "firsts". However, the community spirit of SRLA remained the same, exuding the gratitude of the season.

Alumni Profile: Tiana Keeps on Running!
Tiana ran her first LA Marathon with SRLA more than 10 years ago! Now a
junior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on a full academic scholarship, Tiana is pursuing a degree in civil engineering with a minor in geology. She still uses the lessons learned in SRLA today. She writes:
Not to be cheesy but SRLA taught me that literally anything is possible if you work hard enough. Training for the LA Marathon every year was no joke with practices to attend and race cut-offs to make but I made it happen each year. Learning that dedication and perseverance helps me everyday in school and life in general. Whenever I doubt myself, [there's a voice that] reminds me that anything is possible if I want it enough to work for it.
