Each summer Nebraska Extension Marathon Kids hosts a Summer Family Run Club. The 2024 Summer Family Run Club is offered virtually via a Facebook Group (Nebraska Extension Marathon Kids) and will begin on June 2, 2024 and end on July 26, 2024. The program is completely FREE. Participants that sign up before May 17 will receive all of the materials shipped directly to their home. If you sign up after May 17, it's not too late to participate - you can print all the necessary supplies to join in the fun.
To sign up for the 2024 Summer Family Run Club, go to go.unl.edu/marathonkidsrunner. Plus, join our Facebook Group today (Nebraska Extension Marathon Kids).
Our goal is for youth and their families across Nebraska to be active and gain confidence through completing the distance of a marathon, one mile at a time! Whether you run, walk, or even skip - a mile is a mile, and being physically active is SO GOOD for your health!
Parents and caregivers (YOU) play a CRITICAL role in motivating kids to be active, whether it's through coordinating a family walk/run in the evening, finding a fun park for the family to run and play, or even encouraging good habits to balance screen time with active time.
