Be a Hero...To Yourself...To Our Kids Marathon ROCKS: Going the Distance for Easton ROCKS After School, Inc.

	*A Proud Charity Partner of the 33^rd Marine Corps Marathon, October 26, 2008 It’s Amazing, But True You can train for a marathon in your spare time! Marathon ROCKS entails just two 30- to 45-minute runs on your own during the week and one long group run on Saturday mornings that gradually builds to the full 26.2-mile distance. All training is noncompetitive, supportive, and done at your pace! Run With Purpose** Marathon ROCKS raises funds for Easton ROCKS After School, Inc., a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization on Maryland’s Eastern Shore that provides before- and after-school programs to Easton Elementary and Easton Middle Schools. Unlike typical after-school programs, the target population of Easton ROCKS is the entire K–8 student body of Easton’s Title I schools, regardless of academic or socioeconomic standing. ROCKS programs enrich academics, improve physical fitness, increase access to the arts, and open opportunities to try new hobbies or indulge existing loves. Our programs foster friendships and a sense of community and inclusiveness that may not otherwise exist. As well, they keep kids safe and productive after school, giving our local families peace of mind and helping to reduce juvenile crime statistics; gang activity; and pre-adolescent alcohol, drug, and sexual experimentation in our community.
