YOUTH SPORTS & RECREATION

Marathon Kids is more than just running—it’s about building healthy habits, setting goals, and celebrating progress. Through fun, structured running and walking activities, kids track their miles, build endurance, and gain confidence while working toward completing the distance of four marathons (104.8 miles) over the season. Each lap counts toward a big goal, and every milestone is a chance to celebrate!

Thanks to our partnership with local schools, we’re able to bring Marathon Kids directly to students—making it easier for families to participate and giving kids the encouragement of their peers and teachers along the way. Together, the YMCA and our school partners create a supportive, team-oriented environment where every child can experience the joy of movement, fitness, and accomplishment.
