Marathon Kids is a free, innovative, incremental running/walking and
nutrition program for Kindergartners through 5th Graders, sponsored
by Whole Foods Market. Children run 26.2 miles (a full marathon
distance) over the course of the school year, in increments of one-
quarter to one-half mile at a time. Students run/walk in PE class,
homeroom class and/or with their parents.
Marathon Kids keep a 1-page mileage log to track their progress.
Their mileage is based on parent supervision and the honor system.
Students build endurance, increase self-confidence, and learn to
reach goals. Other means of locomotion(rollerblading, in-line
skating, cycling, etc.) are NOT counted in the mileage for Marathon
Kids.
