45 Years and Still Running–
They’re still Running – and going strong!
PALOS VERDES, CA – February 8, 2012 – The Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates is making some modifications to the historic Palos Verdes Marathon for 2012 due to the cost of extended street closures and the logistics involved with staging the 26.2 mile versus the shorter half marathon course. The popularity of half marathons is exploding across the United States, and with its fantastic coastal views and ocean breezes, the Palos Verdes Half Marathon is more popular than ever. Thus, the organizers have made the decision to create a fun and enjoyable experience for our runners by focusing on the beautiful half marathon and community 5K events, while also raising funds for worthy causes.
The Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates mission and goals associated with the Marathon has always been to raise funds for children’s charities, which are in need now more than ever. We encourage runners at all levels to continue to support this event, one of the longest “running” professional distance races locally and nationally. The event date is May 19, 2012, with the start and finish again at the beautiful Terranea Resort. Visit W2promotions.com, Active.com, palosverdeshalfmarathon.org, or kiwanisclubrhe.org for exciting details about the race events and the Kiwanis mission. Tell your friends; let’s get everyone to join the fun and help children reach a better future today!
