Marathon Kids Ireland have organised this 8 week programme targeting 5th & 6th Class students in schools across Ireland.

Students will learn about the health benefits of sport and perform four running sessions each week inching them closer to completing their first marathon as well as learning about the benefits of physical activity. The running distance increases each week and by the end of the 8 weeks the children will have completed a full marathon. They will be running each day in school to complete this.
