Get Ready for the Kids Marathon!

Sponsored:

Sunday, June 11 at 10 a.m.

Educational Testing Center

660 Rosedale Road, Princeton

Children in grades pre-K through 8 are invited to sign up for the 9th annual Kids Marathon, a fun way to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives.

This program is hosted by Community Education & Outreach of Princeton HealthCare and Princeton Fitness & Wellness Center.

Marathoners will begin activities on their own, striving to walk, run or roll a total 25 miles, or 2.5 miles per week, during the 10-week period from April through early June. Any physical activity—from organized sports to household chores—can count toward the total. (Click here to download a log sheet to track your progress.)

Then they will gather on June 11 to finish the last 1.2 miles together and receive their medals! Parents may run with their children or cheer them on from the sidelines.

After the race, enjoy music, face painting, kids crafts, vendors, healthy refreshments and more!
