Greetings, Parents & Educators!
Welcome to the Mini Martian site – we’re glad you’ve found us! Our initial goal at Run Fit Kids is to encourage children to get off their seats and move but our long-term goal is to fight and help end childhood obesity and the diseases that result from the sedentary life-style, as well as poor nutritional choices, of children and families today. To that end, Running Fit has created a series of kids’ events throughout the calendar year.
First up, Running Fit is pleased to present the 4th annual Mini Martian Marathon. The Mini Martian Marathon is an event where kids collect miles by walking, running or wheel chairing 25 miles over an 8 to 10 week period. The kids can complete their marathon experience by joining in the 1.2-mile event on April 10, 2010 at Ford Field in Dearborn, MI (not THE Ford Field where the Lions "play"!). Last year, over 800 kids participated in the final event. Why not make it a family affair and come out for a race that day yourself?
The Mini Martian Marathon is just one of several children’s events that Running Fit is hosting in 2010 with the goal of promoting an active, healthy lifestyle in children. Find a listing of all our other events in this program here.
