A MESSAGE FROM Tarah's Fundraising Page
I am honored to be running the TCS New York City Marathon as one of five individuals representing Atlanta Track Club's Kilometer Kids Charity Team.
Kilometer Kids is Atlanta Track Club's oldest and largest youth running program. The free, game-based curriculum is designed to teach kids in grades K-5 about goal setting, healthy habits, respect, and community building, all by exposing them to the sport of running. Over the course of the 10-week season, the goal for every Kilometer Kid is to run 13.1 or 26.2 miles (depending on how many practices they attend each week). There is no fee to participate, and the program is for all elementary students regardless of running ability or experience. Being a Kilometer Kid is not about running the fastest or winning the race. Instead, it's all about working hard, being kind, and having fun while becoming more physically active, being a part of a team, and finding joy in the process.
Thank you so much for your support in helping make a difference in the lives of kids participating in Atlanta Track Club's Kilometer Kids Program.
