Miracle Match Kids
The Miracle Match Marathon also offers a special kids run called Miracle Match Kids. The purpose of this event is to encourage our school students to maintain regular exercise in their everyday lives to promote health and wellness.
This event is open for students through the 12th grade. For a $10 entry fee, the student is enrolled in the Miracle Match Kids program. They will receive a tee shirt and log sheet to record each mile that they run or walk. When they finish all 26 miles, the log sheet is returned to the Miracle Match Marathon office. A special medal will be mailed to the student's physical education teacher for presentation. There is no limit to how many miles a Miracle Match Kid can run.
