ABOUT MARATHON KIDS
Marathon Kids is a nonprofit organization on a mission to get kids moving. We provide effective physical activity programming to help kids adopt an active lifestyle and learn how being active can improve their entire well-being.
Our programming is built on six evidence-based pillars for long-term healthy behavior adoption: Goal setting, Tracking, Modeling the way, Social Support , Celebrating and Rewarding.
As a nonprofit, we believe kids need positive role models who provide opportunities to run and move.
