About Marathon Kids

Marathon Kids is a 16 year old non-profit committed to improving fitness and nutrition habits for 83,000 Austin area K-5th graders, via an evidence based, six-month running/walking, nutrition and schoolyard gardening program. It is now in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Rio Grande Valley, El Paso, Baltimore, Los Angeles and Chicago. There are 250,000+ USA K-5th graders registered for the nationally recognized, FREE Marathon Kids 2011-2012 program. Each of the eight Marathon Kids regions has an 86% average completion rate. Marathon Kids targets children most vulnerable to Type 2 diabetes and sedentary lifestyles. On Saturday, Oct 1, 2011 at UT Myers Track Stadium, thousands of Central Texas area K-5th grade school children and parents ceremonially begin running/walking 26.2 miles in increments of 1/4 to 1/2 mile at a time over five-six months, coloring in their Marathon Kids Running Logs. They also are challenged to eat 26.2 days a month of 5-a-day fruits and veggies, coloring in their Food Logs as they go. You can find more information at www.marathonkids.org.
