Junior Marathon

Cultivating young runners for a lifetime of healthy living.

How It Works

Runners log a collective 25.2 miles prior to race day, tracking each one as they go in their Jr. Marathon log. (Download here.)

While most Jr. Marathon participants are elementary and middle school ages, all are welcome.

All racers who complete the mileage pre-event and cross the finish line on race day will receive a t-shirt and “Junior Marathon” finisher medal.
