On Saturday May 1st, hundreds of Chicago area K-5^th grade school children, teachers and parents will celebrate the completion of 26.2 miles!  The children have been running/walking a marathon in increments of ¼ to ½ mile at a time over six months, and coloring in their Marathon Kids Running Logs©.  They have also been challenged to eat 26.2 days a month of 5-a-day fruits and veggies. Together in a free, glorious, ceremonial Final Mile Celebration, they will receive a shiny medal and celebrate their victory!

Seating will be First come, First to run!  Our Volunteers will guide you to the first available seating.  If you would like to run with your school, please arrange to meet outside the stands then be seated together.  Groups are encouraged to make and bring large school signs so that you may easily find each other.

Event will go on rain or shine!  Please make sure to dress for the weather, and ready to run/walk.
