Members of Holmes High School's athletic teams, drumline, and cheerleading squad will join Mayor Julian Castro and former NFL and Texas Longhorns running back Priest Holmes to fire the starting gun for the San Antonio Sports School Rock Challenge.
To participate, students in kindergarten through fifth grade Antonio will run or walk 25.2 miles over a 10-week period. Their "marathon" will culminate on Nov. 13, when students will complete their final mile and celebrate their accomplishment. The Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon will be held two days later on Nov. 15.
About 160,000 elementary students in 19 San Antonio area school districts are being encouraged to go the distance in the School Rock Challenge. For more information, please contact San Antonio Sports at (210) 820-2100 or go to www.SanAntonioSports.org.
