...a 16 year old, evidence based, global collaboration of families running/walking and making healthy food choices

Our Mission:   Marathon Kids is a free, six month, running/walking/nutrition and gardening program for K-5th graders most vulnerable to type 2 diabetes and sedentary lifestyles.  We build joyful community around children and are quickly accepted into public, private and home schools as a free, innovative celebratory fitness program, resonating with the child...and with the child's family.  The child develops the love and habit of moving through space and carries forward the power of muscular, nutritional and psychological well being.
