About Marathon Kids
Founded in 1995, Marathon Kids is the only evidence-based structured physical activity program specifically designed for children in the US. Using technology and research-proven methods, the Marathon Kids Program aims to get kids moving! With the help of coaches and mentors, kids set big goals and are challenged to run, jog, walk, or move the equivalent of four (or more!) marathons over the course of a season or school year.
The Marathon Kids Mission
The World Health Organization recommends 60 minutes of daily activity for kids, yet only 1 in 4 students are reaching that goal.
Research shows that when children participate in Marathon Kids, they have a better chance of achieving the recommended amount of daily physical activity. That’s great news for their bodies and minds! When kids are active, not only are they forming life-long healthy physical habits, they are also happier and perform better in school.
Our programming is built on six evidence-based pillars for long-term healthy behavior adoption.

Goal Setting
Modeling the Way

Celebrating
The Marathon Kids Program provides training, tools, and resources to the dedicated coaches, PE teachers, and other community volunteers who motivate kids to take their first step towards a healthier future and positively impact mental health.
Through movement, we show kids they can achieve more than they ever thought possible!
