Marathon Kids

Marathon Kids UK in parks is a free programme that runs in parks all over the UK on weekends and in the school holidays, allowing children to maintain regular exercise even when school’s out.

Cheered on by parents, friends and volunteers, the children complete laps of a 250m course, earning wrist bands as they go. At the end of the session, the distance they’ve racked up is added to their personal account on the Marathon Kids UK app.

Each Marathon Kids UK event has a Community Ambassador and team of volunteers who are given the training required to make events safe, fun and exciting for the children and their families.

Volunteers needed to help deliver the events and support the children taking part.
