Still not sure you can handle a half marathon? Hear from a few of Marathon Matt's runners on Yelp

 

"Team Larkin Street is the kind of program that gives a significant amount back to participants and to Larkin Street Youth Services.  Many participants will continue to run after the race as they now have the framework for leading a healthier, more positive life.  They in turn can provide a positive example and inspiration for the youth at Larkin Street."
