San Diego partner George A. Rios III is featured in a July 2026 ABA Journal article highlighting Running for the Law and its mission to support mental wellness in the legal and law enforcement communities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, George found running to be a positive outlet for managing stress and began encouraging other legal professionals to prioritize exercise and personal well-being.
In 2024, George founded Running for the Law to raise awareness of mental health issues affecting attorneys and law enforcement personnel. The nonprofit’s annual 5K event, held in May during Mental Health Awareness Month, has attracted growing participation and support while raising funds for community initiatives, including the San Diego County Mock Trial Competition.
