Over the course of the 10-week season, the goal for every Kilometer Kid is to run 26.2 miles or the equivalent of a marathon. Each participant will receive incentives when he/she hits certain mile markers! Kilometer Kids is not about who can run the farthest or the fastest (no running experience is required). It's about working hard, being kind and having fun while becoming more physically active, being a part of a team and reaching individual goals. And, it's also about having fun and finding the joy in running! We finish out our season by running the Marietta Daily Journal Gobble Jog together with our families. It's a tradition!
Kilometer Kids is Atlanta Track Club's oldest and largest youth running program. The free, game-based curriculum is designed to teach kids in K-8th grade about goal setting, healthy habits, respect, and community building, all through exposing them to the sport of running. It is lead by parent and teacher volunteers at schools and other sites across the metro Atlanta area.
