KiDSMARATHON Connecticut
|
We are proud to work with schools and families across the state to run Rod Dixon's KiDSMARATHON program: an 8-10 week training program that enables kids to complete a full marathon by running incremental distances each week leading up to a "Final Mile" in front of hundreds (and sometimes even thousands!) of fans.

The goal of KiDSMARATHON is to lay the foundation for a lifelong commitment to good health and fitness habits. We do this by educating kids about exercise and nutrition, empowering them to take their health into their own hands, and inspiring them with visits from running champions.
During the project, elementary students, ages 7-12, develop life-long fitness skills, positive nutritional habits, social-emotional learning, a feeling of accomplishment, and self-confidence. The mantra of the program is "finishing is winning and winning is finishing."
