WELCOME TO THE NEW RUNNING FOR RIORDAN WEBSITE.
Connor and Brandon have chosen their first ultramarathon and they will be attempting to run 100 miles. This will be their first attempt at an ultra marathon. They have decided to use this attempt to help raise funds for their high school.
Both Brandon and Connor are starting their freshman year at Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco. Archbishop Riordan reflects the cultural heritage of the ethnic groups of the City of San Francisco and its adjacent communities. The school respects the integrity of each individual as a unique human being. The school admits students of varying abilities. Archbishop Riordan engages its students in a process of education which promotes each student's personal growth and development in the intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical aspects of his life.
Connor and Brandon have chosen the Run de Vous 100 Mile Run as their race in this goal. They hope that by committing themselves to do this run, they can simultaneously help raise funds for their new school. These funds will go a long way to help their educational institution. From helping purchase new technology, upgrading classrooms and improving the athletic fields and rooms Brandon and Connor hope to start their high school experience by helping their school.
The race starts on August 18 at 6:00 am and ends at 2:00pm August 19, 2012. You can follow live race updates at the race website.
