Austin Marathon Charity Fundraising
Team Marathon Kids invites athletes of all levels and abilities to join our team and raise funds for the Marathon Kids.
Team Marathon Kids
Team Marathon Kids (Team MK) is the official charity race team of Marathon Kids, where every mile you run helps kids move more and dream bigger. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or your next marathon, you’ll be part of a community of runners raising funds to support free physical activity programs for schools and communities across the country. When you run with purpose, kids run too — stronger, farther, and with more confidence than ever before.
2026 AUSTIN MARATHON RESULTS
Sunday, February 15th, 2026
This year’s Austin Marathon was a powerful reminder of what community can accomplish.
Our Team Marathon Kids runners showed up strong, and thanks to their dedication — along with a generous fundraiser match from the Moody Foundation — we raised over $16,000 to support the Marathon Kids mission.
Every mile they ran helps more kids build confidence and healthy habits.
To our runners, supporters, and partners — thank you.
Stay tuned for more information about joining Team Marathon Kids for the 2027 Austin Marathon!
About Marathon Kids
Founded in 1995, Marathon Kids is the only evidence-based structured physical activity program specifically designed for children in the US. Using technology and research-proven methods, the Marathon Kids Program aims to get kids moving! With the help of coaches and mentors, kids set big goals and are challenged to run, jog, walk, or move the equivalent of four (or more!) marathons over the course of a season or school year.
The Marathon Kids Program provides training, tools, and resources to the dedicated coaches, PE teachers, and other community volunteers who motivate kids to take their first step towards a healthier future and positively impact mental health. Through movement, we show kids they can achieve more than they ever thought possible!
