About Marathon Kids

Marathon Kids is a national nonprofit helping kids build healthy habits and a lifelong love of movement.

Through our no cost physical activity program and technology platform, Marathon Kids empowers schools, educators, coaches, and community organizations to set goals, track physical activity, celebrate progress, and keep kids moving.

Every mile and minute tracked represents more than physical activity, it’s an opportunity for kids to build confidence, develop healthy habits, and experience the power of achieving a goal.
