WHAT IS “RES KIDS MARATHON CLUB”
The RES Kids Marathon Club will encourage the students of R.E.S. to become more active by following a fun, simple running/walking/roll(wheelchair) program. The goal for each child is to complete at least 25.2 miles before race day. A marathon is 26.2 miles.

Then, on race day, students who are properly registered and reached their mileage goal will complete their Final Mile in the Cardston Kids Marathon. The Final Mile is one mile, non-competitive, untimed fun run/walk/roll(wheelchair) . As the children cross the finish line, each will be presented with their finisher’s medal and finish line refreshments.

Parents, Grandparents and siblings are welcome to register for this Marathon.
THERE IS NO TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED – PARENTS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO GET THEIR STUDENTS TO CARDSTON FOR THE RACE.

HOW DO WE REGISTER?
Parents will be responsible for entering their child in the marathon. Register on line www.cardstonkidsmarathon.com. The cost of registration is $15.00. Deadline for this is May 8, 2009.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER REGISTRATION?
Students will receive a run log to keep and a pedometer to help them keep track of their mileage. The logs will be returned to the office before the race and they will receive their race t-shirt. Everyone must have a t-shirt to participate in the Final Mile!
