More than 3,000 runners took off on the Rock 'n' Roll 5K Saturday, including Grace Bernal who has been running since the marathon began in 1998.
“Twenty years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I was training for it,” Bernal said.
Bernal has been running since the Rock 'n' Roll marathon began in 1998. She says the race kept her going after two breast cancer diagnoses. “I had the surgery anyway, and I ran the marathon," Bernal said."So I had to focus, and Rock 'n' Roll helped me pull through.” Team Hoyt San Diego also looks forward to this run every year. They push children and adults with disabilities in endurance races.Saturday’s race felt sentimental for many members after one of the team founders passed away last week.
“Rick has been racing in endurance races for over four decades, so we are celebrating his life,” said Tania Zamora, Director and President of Team Hoyt San Diego.“Not too tired. I think the idea today was to try and not go too all out and see where my fitness is at before training for the summer,” Croshaw said.
