At 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, more than 30 Trinity University students queued up along Flores Street in downtown San Antonio, to cheer on participants of the Street2Feet 5K running race.
The race began at 8:00 a.m. with the starting line on West Houston Street. More than 1,000 people registered to run, including 40 homeless individuals who had trained for months for this 5 kilometer race, according to Stree2Feet co-founder Elizabeth Rosenblum.
Street2Feet provides exercise programs for individuals experiencing homelessness in San Antonio, as a way of building healthy body and spirit. “This race is a fundraiser and an extension of Street2Feet,” said Rosenblum. She noted that both homeless and settled individuals participated.
