run with marathon kids
The program utilizes running and goal setting to provide kids with a positive physical activity experience.
Unlock potential one lap at a time
Kids finish miles in achievable increments or complete minutes of heart-pumping activity.
Coaches set a club mileage goal to challenge their youth participants to run, walk, or move as many miles as they can, with the ultimate goal of reaching four marathons (104.8 miles) throughout a season.
