Paul Trapani leads a remarkable nonprofit organization that trains middle-school students to run the 26.2-mile race.
by the early morning start time. Running bibs have to be distributed, gear bags stowed, 60 buses directed where to go, etc. He then has to reverse the process and pick them up — whenever they finish the 26.2-mile route — at the finish line in Century City. His day starts around 4 a.m.
There’s not another program in the U.S. exactly like this, partly because Southern California’s mild weather allows almost year-round outdoor training and partly because, well, it’s hard to pull off. Not that Trapani thinks it’s hard. He co-founded the program in 1993 and though he no longer runs the marathon, remains committed to keeping it going.
The student presence at the start line is mighty. Imagine 3,000 kids wearing identical bright SRLA shirts. I have seen SRLA runners on the route, sometimes running, sometimes walking, sometimes being encouraged by friends or teachers, but always moving forward.
