The Marathon Run Club program encourages kids to set the goal of running the distance of up to four marathons over the course of the season. One mile at a time, runners unlock their potential, learning grit, determination, and the feeling of pure joy that comes from crushing their goals– both on and off the trails-while tracking their progress along the way.
