Effective and Efficient
Free Resources for Teachers – With free lesson plans for teachers, including warm-up activities, running games, and other free PE resources, the new platform makes it a snap for teachers to assist with helping students meet physical education requirements.
QR Codes for Students – Students have their very own ID cards with unique QR codes to scan as they complete each lap or physical activity.
Physical Activity Tracking Made Easy – With Marathon Kids Connect, teachers can use the front-facing camera of a phone or iPad as a self-scan station for students—no Wi-Fi required! Teachers may also enter mileage and physical activity manually, to ensure safe distancing.
Reports at Your Fingertips – The app automatically uploads mileage totals to your Marathon Kids Connect account, making it easy to check your students’ progress. Share leaderboards and celebrate milestones with principals, runners, parents, and the entire school!
Help Your Students Go the Distance
Encourage Self-Efficacy – Kids partner with teachers in their physical education, just by scanning ID cards! Our free digital mileage counter is easy to use and shows kids their progress at a glance.
Make Remote Learning Fun – Marathon Kids Connect helps bridge the gap between school and home by allowing parents to share miles run at home.
Celebrate Milestones – During periods of remote learning, parents can encourage their children to keep moving at home and join you in celebrating their child's progress and achievements.
