Together, Let's get kids active

Adults, like you, inspire kids to build new healthy habits. Join the Marathon Kids movement!

Kids develop a growth mindset setting big and small goals alike.

Moving together is more enjoyable when you feel the support of others.

Logging miles and measuring progress keeps kids motivated.

Big cheers and high-fives go a long way to foster long-term behavior adoption.

Role models inspire kids to build new, healthy habits in their lives.

Consistent, positive recognition fuels kids to keep striving for the next milestone.

You will need to group participants by class. Sorting participants helps provide friendly competition and view data.

Then determine how you will add participants. We offer three ways:

Add in Bulk

Download our template to add a large number of participants.

Manual Entry

This is great for adding a new and smaller number of participants.

Recruit

Use our customizable online registration form to recruit participants.

Whether your participants are completing laps or minutes of heart-pumping activity it all counts towards mileage.

Tracks: Be sure to calculate the distance of one lap around your track, field, or wherever your participants will run.
Activities: We count 20 minutes of heart-pumping activity as one mile.

We have three ways to capture physical activity effort:

Manually add miles and minutes.
Use the scanner app to scan the participants' personalized QR codes for completed laps.
Parents can submit miles from home (optional feature)
