The Detroit Free Press in conjunction with Priority Health, Meijer and Bedrock are pleased to offer 250 Detroit Public School children with an opportunity to accomplish an amazing goal of running 26.2 miles.
We are providing free registration, transportation to and from the event, a brand new pair of running shoes and some great swag items.
The goal is for middle school aged kids to fall in love with running, and learn healthy lifestyle habits such as eating, working out and stretching.
This year will be our pilot program, where we work with five schools chosen by Detroit Public School staff and we plan to expand and have more spots to offer next year. The five schools are:
- Golightly Education Center (Promo code: DPSGEC24)
- John R King (Promo code: DPSJRK24)
- Davison (Promo code: DPSDAV24)
- Detroit International Academy (DIA) (Promo code: DPSDIA24)
- Mackenzie (Promo code: DPSMAC24)
Here’s how it works:
This race will set a 25.2-mile training goal for children age 6-13 using our provided log sheet, to be completed by Friday, Oct. 18, 2024. Then on Saturday of race weekend, they will join us to complete their last mile!
Our start/finish area will be located near The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy. We recommend using this address for your GPS to help you to navigate close to our area.
Kids Marathon participants will receive a special shirt, medal, and an official time.
Kids can run or walk their 25.2 miles – it’s not about the speed, but the importance of learning to build healthy habits and setting goals!
Different from the Meijer Little Detroit Dash, this race will include additional distance and timing.
Print a log sheet, register your child, and have them join in on all of the fun of race weekend!
