support our marathon kids
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on donors to keep our programming 100% FREE. Your contribution delivers real impact and directly supports children in underserved schools and communities.
We can provide physical activity programming to 500,000 kids
And it all starts with one step.
Together, we can help every child take their first step toward a healthier future. Sedentary behavior is at an all-time high. Only 1 in 4 children are getting the recommended number of active minutes per day. This is partly because millions of kids lack opportunities to get active, whether in school or at home.
Research shows when children are given positive physical activity experiences early in life, they are six times more likely to adopt a long-term healthy lifestyle. That's why an effective program like Marathon Kids is urgently needed to reverse the youth inactivity trend and support the Whole Child, Whole School, Whole Community.
