The Inland Empire Challenge Honors Brenda Martinez

The Inland Empire Challenge thanks Brenda Martinez, USA Olympian (semi-finalist in the 1500 meter run. World Championships' Bronze medalist in the 800, 2013. Brenda is the first American woman to medal in the World Championships in the 800. She ran a personal best, 1:57.91.

Brenda sponsors a running camp for deserving young women from the I.E. The camp held in Big Bear, is provided at little to no cost to the girls who attend. Her camp is held without fanfare and is designed to give the girls a glimpse to the benefits of world class training. Brenda's willingness to give of herself to these young ladies displays the quality of her character.

Brenda has graciously made herself available to meet, take photos, and sign autographs with many of our up and coming stars of the future at the IEC.

Thank you, Brenda
