The group of twenty-one Los Nietos Middle School STEAM Academy students who are on the Students Run Los Angeles (SRLA) team are anxiously anticipating their first race of the 2017-18 SRLA season this Sunday. The 5K event will take place at Dockweiler Beach in Playa Del Rey. Approximately 4,000 runners are expected to participate. Students will receive an SRLA t-shirt and medal upon completion of the 3.2 mile run. The students in the SRLA program will be practicing each week and running a race each month in preparation for the 26.2 mile long Los Angeles Marathon on March 18, 2018! A big thank you to the SRLA Coaches Ms. Rose, Ms. Chavez, Ms. Fontenot, and our Friends of SRLA coaches Ms. Sanchez and Mr. Zelaya
