MARATHON KIDS IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WITH A MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN!
WE INVITE YOU!
TO JOIN US IN THE FIGHT
AGAINST SEDENTARY LIVING
For the FIRST TIME IN OUR HISTORY, we are offering a pathway to participation so that any and every K-5th grader in the country can participate in Marathon Kids! That’s right! Now, ANY school, non-profit organization, homeschool collaborative or group (of 15 children or more) can participate in Marathon Kids for a nominal fee of $8/child. As part of our 26.2 Mile Challenge program, kids run or walk the distance of at least one marathon (26.2 miles) incrementally over several months. We’re serious about mitigating the risks of living a sedentary lifestyle through long-term behavior adoption! To show our commitment, we’ve ramped up our 26.2 Mile Challenge to include the components listed below.
