The Caring Foundation of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama is committed to improving the health, well-being, and education of Alabamians by investing in programs that help children build healthier, more active lives.

Through their support of Marathon Kids, more schools across Alabama have access to a free, evidence-based program that helps students develop healthy habits, mental resilience, and self-confidence through movement.

This statewide dashboard celebrates the impact of that investment by showcasing real-time participation and progress from schools using the Marathon Kids program across Alabama.

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.
