Nike LA Half Marathon: Run With Her
Hosted By: Nike Location: Los Angeles, CA Distance: 13.1 miles Date: April 5th, 2020 Join Nike in running a half marathon in the heart of Los Angeles. The purpose of this half marathon is to support girl athletes and help break down the barriers that today’s society has put in front of them. Only 1 in 5 kids get the exercise they need and girls are on the worse end of that statistic. When girls in the United States hit the age of 14, they drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys, while some never even started.
The Mission
Nike believes in investing in the future of these girls and to hopefully provide a better environment for them to be able to engage in physical activities. That’s why, with this first ever Nike half marathon, they will be supporting Women Coach Los Angeles (WCLA). They hope to increase the number of female coaches to serve as role models for girls all over Los Angeles. This is more than a half marathon, it’s a chance to run together in support of women.
