This year students are challenged to conquer 104.8 miles, little by little, day by day with the Marathon Kids Program. All physical activity counts: running, walking, and any kind of heart-pumping activity.  

You’ve been invited by your school to follow your child’s journey and submit miles from home. Parents play a key role in helping their child reach 60 minutes of physical activity every day. 

Step 1: Create your account. 

• Check your email for your invitation to follow your child’s progress. (no-reply@marathonkids.org)  
• If you can’t find it, email the PE teacher to resend the invite. 
• Create your account by clicking the START HERE button from your email.  
• Verify your account by checking your email. Click ACTIVATE. 
• Login to your Marathon Kids account to claim your child. 
• Select your child’s name(s) on the left-hand side of your screen.  

Step 2: Help your child go farther! Submit miles and minutes to the Coach. 

The coach will receive notifications and approve miles submitted by parents. 

• Click on the “Log Miles” icon on the bottom of your screen. 

• Select the date, then enter the number of miles and click the “Send to your coach for approval” button

•  Examples of what you can submit to a coach: 

• Walks, hikes or jogs in the neighborhood, park or any location you’ve got in .25 increments.
• Any heart-pumping activity (20 minutes equals one mile)
• Check out our resources to help conquer miles at home.
