I Can Do 26 Point 2 Kids
“I can do 26.2,” is a six-weeks running program for children ages 4-12. The program teaches children that being healthy, active, and having fun go hand-in-hand. Through this running program, we help our children understand that with effort anything is achievable, including running a marathon, in six weeks. Our running program helps children develop coping skills and embrace resiliency while learning key concepts that enforce the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Over six weeks, our children work with volunteer coaches to walk or run at their pace towards completing the distance of a marathon. Family and friends are invited to witness the children crossing the finish line as they celebrate their final miles towards their goal of 26.2 miles.

I Can Do 26.2 Kids make being active fun for kids while promoting physical activity and long-lasting healthy eating habits. We engage kids in structured non-competitive, positive goal driven programs that challenge kids to run the equivalent of one marathon over a six-week period. This structure allows kids of all abilities to journey through 26.2 miles one mile at a time. We believe that introducing running and other physical activities early to children has a long-lasting sustainable impact towards maintaining healthy lifestyle. (www.icando26point2kids.com)
