Iowa Kidstrong’s KidStriders Mile-A-ThonSM Program for the Des Moines Marathon
The KidStriders Mile-A-Thon Program is a fitness and nutrition program for elementary school-aged children to complete at home in the weeks leading up to the Iowa Kidstrong Kids Run at the IMT Des Moines Marathon. This is an OPTIONAL CHILDREN’S PROGRAM WITH AN ADDITIONAL FEE. The KidStriders Mile-A-Thon is a cumulative marathon program which means that between now* and October 10 your child will run or walk 26 miles – just short of the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles). They will do this in increments adding the distance each time to reach 26 miles. The program also features five KidStriders Training Table Modules to complete in conjunction with your child’s running progress. These modules comprise the nutrition component of the program and will include relevant activities that your child can complete to enrich their understanding.
Each registered participant is provided with a KidStriders Mile-a-Thon Fitness Program book which will contain all of the information for successful completion of the program (mailing will begin June 21, 2010). Participants completing the KidStriders Des Moines Marathon Mile-a-Thon by accumulating 26 miles and completing the KidStriders Training Table Modules will have the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments at the The Iowa Kidstrong Kids Run at the IMT Des Moines Marathon on Saturday, October 16, 2010. where they will receive a special finisher’s medal.
