Hundreds of Chicago areaelementary school children and parents start running and walking 26.2 miles over the next six months, with their parents
and/or at school, coloring in their incremental running logs in 1/4 to
1/2 mile segments. In addition to running/walking 26.2 miles, Chicago
Marathon Kids eat 26.2 days a month of 5-a-day fruits and veggies, to
fuel their 26.2 miles of running over six months!

On September 25th, they will begin their six-month journey to running a marathon. This is no small accomplishment! If they are able to meet their goal, the Marathon Kids will receive a Finisher Medal at the Final Mile Medal
