Come Celebrate Marathon Kids Kick Off!!

Join us in celebrating the ceremonial Kick Off of the Marathon Kids program Saturday, September 24 at CPS Hanson Stadium! Marathon Kids is a FREE, evidence based running/walking and nutrition program for K-5th graders to combat childhood obesity. Children run/walk 26.2 miles over six months! PE teachers, classroom teachers, parents, or volunteers can lead the program at your school. Teacher packets are now available! To request a packet and get your school involved, please visit Marathon Kids or email Taryn. 

Volunteers for the event are also needed from 7am to 12pm. Volunteers help us cheer on participants, hand out rewards, set up, breakdown, and help participants move through the event! High school student groups are encouraged! Sign up or email Annie.
