Coach Christy Rollins is seeing big changes at her school thanks to Marathon Kids! ✅ Students are growing in confidence, perseverance, and pride — celebrating every milestone, whether they’re running or walking. ✅ The program has brought new structure to PE and made an after-school run club possible, now with 100 students strong and t-shirts, thanks to a local hospital! ✅ Behavior is improving, kids are setting personal goals, and families are joining in for runs and walks outside of school. Coach Christy Rollins shares, "Marathon Kids has brought incredible growth in confidence, perseverance, and behavior improvement among our students. Each achievement lights up their faces with pride!" 🏅 This is what building a culture of movement looks like! 💙 #MarathonKids #ActiveKids #StrongerTogether #GoalSetting #Tracking #Celebrating (fb)

Another school year is almost in the books, and what a year it’s been! 🎉 More than 428,000 kids across the country laced up their shoes and hit the ground running with Marathon Kids this season. Together, they covered an incredible 6,493,000 miles, and along the way, they set goals 🥅, tracked progress 📊, built confidence 💪, and discovered the joy of movement. But the impact goes far beyond miles. With every lap, kids learned how to persevere, support one another, and celebrate progress. They built stronger minds, healthier bodies, and deeper connections. This is what Marathon Kids is all about: giving students of all abilities access to a free, goal-driven program that teaches lifelong healthy habits through running.
