Runbuk Partners with Marathon Kids to Offer a Once-in-a-Lifetime Adventure for Team MK!
We are absolutely thrilled to announce a spectacular new partnership between Marathon Kids and Runbuk, a global leader in unique endurance events!
To kick off this exciting collaboration, Runbuk has generously provided an incredible in-kind donation to support our mission: one complete entry package to the 2027 Easter Island Volcano Marathon for a member of our charity running program, Team Marathon Kids.
The Ultimate Running Adventure: The 2027 Volcano Marathon
Taking place from June 26–30, 2027, the Volcano Marathon on Easter Island is the ultimate bucket-list event for adventure runners. This isn’t your standard road race—it’s an extraordinary journey through one of the most remote and mystifying environments on Earth.
The Donation Package Includes:
- One official race entry for the 2027 Easter Island Volcano Marathon.
- A complete runner’s package featuring single-room accommodations (valued at $4,300).
- An unforgettable opportunity to push your limits, explore extreme terrain, and be part of a global community driven by resilience.
Run for a Cause: Become our Team MK Champion
Through our “apply and fundraise” model, Team MK empowers adult runners to leverage their passion for running to support Marathon Kids.
We are officially preparing to open applications for one dedicated fundraiser to claim this extraordinary spot. The selected Team MK member will commit to a fundraising goal to support our national network. By taking on this epic challenge, you will directly help us reach over 518,000 kids annually across all 50 states, reversing health trajectories and turning every lap into a milestone of confidence and resilience.
Ready to toe the line? We will begin accepting applications for this running opportunity very soon. In the meantime, you can review what’s included and get a feel for the journey ahead by visiting the Volcano Marathon Registration Page.
