The Miracle Match Marathon also offers a special kids run called Miracle Match KIDS.

The purpose of this event is to encourage our school children to maintain regular exercise in their everyday lives to promote health and wellness.

The Miracle Match KIDS is a full marathon, but it's run one mile at a time until the child completes 26 miles.

This event is open to children through the eighth grade. For a $10 entry fee, the child is enrolled in the Miracle Match Kids program and they will receive a T-shirt and log sheet to record each mile that they run or walk. Once they complete the 26th mile, they receive a marathon finisher's medal and certificate.

Awards Presentation

Students completing the Miracle Match KIDS can have their awards presented to them two ways:

1. At the Miracle Match Marathon event: Students need to complete and log 25 miles before the Miracle Match Marathon. Return the log sheet with their registation for the one-mile event. Their Miracle Match Kids medal and certificate will be presented to them at the event awards presentation following the completion of the one mile event.
   
2. Mailed by their physical education teacher or parent: Students who do not complete 25 miles prior to the Miracle Match Marathon, or who register for the Miracle Match KIDS at the marathon need to mail their log sheet to the race director when they have completed their 26 miles. Their medal and cerftificate will be mailed to their physical education teacher for presentation.

There is no limit to how many miles a Miracle Match Kid can run. Should they continue past their first 26 miles, they can receive additional medals and certificates.
