Team Marathon Kids

We are a group of athletes committed to building healthy communities. Through our partnership with NYRR, Team Marathon Kids athletes will run, jog, or walk the TCS New York City Marathon on November 3, 2024.

Marathon Kids Mission

Through running, we show kids they can achieve more than they ever thought possible and put them on the path to healthier lives.

Impact

We support children of all abilities in adopting an active lifestyle by providing free tools and programming to PE teachers, classroom teachers, and community organizations. Our goal-driven program aims to increase daily physical activity by challenging kids to run, jog, walk, or move the equivalent of four (or more!) marathons throughout a season. Not only are we teaching goal-setting, but Marathon Kids is an opportunity for all kids - at any fitness level - to learn how being active every day improves their well-being. We keep our programming free because of funders and supporters like you! Every contribution delivers Marathon Kids’ evidence-based program and award-winning technology to schools and communities that need us most. We provide the tools and training, while coaches bring the fun, energy, and encouragement to help kids go further than they ever thought possible.
