Marathon Kids is proud to partner with The Power of Sports Foundation to help more children experience the lifelong benefits of movement.
The partnership will expand access to inclusive youth running and physical activity programs that help kids improve their physical health, build confidence, develop resilience, and create lasting healthy habits.
The Power of Sports Foundation advances positive change through sports by increasing opportunities for young people to be active. Its commitment to healthier, stronger communities closely aligns with the Marathon Kids mission: helping every child discover the joy of movement and reach meaningful goals at their own pace.
Marathon Kids works with schools, educators, coaches, and community organizations nationwide to make physical activity accessible and rewarding. Through evidence-based programming, personalized goal setting, and positive encouragement, children learn that movement is about more than fitness. It builds perseverance, strengthens social connections, supports mental well-being, and reinforces a belief in what they can achieve.
Regular physical activity can also positively influence how children engage in the classroom, at home, and in their communities. By making movement welcoming and achievable, Marathon Kids helps young people develop skills that can support them throughout their lives.
Support from The Power of Sports Foundation will help Marathon Kids bring these benefits to more children and communities. Together, the organizations are creating opportunities for kids of all abilities and backgrounds to get active, celebrate progress, and experience the confidence that comes from reaching a goal.
Marathon Kids is grateful to The Power of Sports Foundation for investing in healthier, happier, and more confident kids.
When kids move, they go farther, in running and in life.
