Marathon Kids UK

Marathon Kids in the UK is a programme of Kids Run Free whose mission is to get children active, from toddlers to teens, igniting their passion for sport and physical activity, helping them become healthier, happier, more confident children.

Whether your child is just starting out or is already a mini Mo Farah, the Marathon Kids Running App is the perfect way for your child to experience the achievement of running a marathon! Every time they run, use the Marathon Kids Running App to record the distance and track their progress towards their goal of 1, 2, 3, 4 marathons and beyond!

• Run anywhere – Be it after school or at weekends, around the streets or in a local park, at a Marathon Kids in parks event, or any other organised event, record your child’s run - it all counts towards their marathon!

• Get the whole family running – Your children will love running with you, so set yourselves the challenge of running a marathon together!

• Reward your kids – Browse our shop for exclusive Marathon Kids incentives to motivate your children to run their first marathon and beyond!

• Link up to our Marathon Kids in schools programme – If your child's school is taking part in Marathon Kids, you can use your app to track how far your child runs in school. You will see the running you’ve done with your child outside of school as a separate distance to what your child has achieved in school, and teachers will see the distance your child has run outside of school allowing them to see the impact that the Marathon Kids Programme is having outside of school.

• Keep up to date – Receive the latest news and hear inspiring stories from the Marathon Kids programme.
