Get Fit, Help Berkeley: Schools Fund Half Marathon

BERKELEY, CA — You can turn your burn into a chance to learn for Berkeley kids, by joining the Berkeley Marathon Run with the Schools Fund on Nov. 18. The goal is to raise $30,000 for Berkeley Public Schools with the money going toward classroom grants, summer fellowships and volunteers in the classroom.

It's simple, join the Race for Free program, then donate $50 for running a 5k or $100 for a 10k. At this writing, a mere $2300 has been raised toward the $30,000 goal.

New this year is a family 1K walk, run or sprint scheduled the day before the marathon.

Not a runner? That's OK - donate here to the cause without ever lacing up a shoe.
