Helping Young Runners One Mile At a Time
Through running, we show kids they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.
why we run
Only 1 in 4 children get the daily recommended 60 minutes of physical activity. And, we are delivering the effective programming they need.
As a nonprofit, we believe kids need positive role models who provide opportunities to run and move. We support schools and community organizations with an evidenced-based physical activity program designed to grow self-confident, active kids.
Marathon Kids Connect
A free cloud-based platform for coaches to track physical activity effort and measure progress of goals. Marathon Kids Connect includes a mobile scanning app for distance tracking, plus a digital platform to customize a program, manage rosters, add miles/minutes, run reports, and celebrate milestones.
