About the Medtronic TC Kids Marathon
Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles
Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. and Medtronic have teamed up to create Medtronic TC Kids Marathon, a community-wide effort that inspires healthy lifestyles, especially among children.
Medtronic TC Kids Marathon operates under a simple premise: the sooner we can instill healthy lifestyles in our kids, the better health they will have later in life. A major contributor to a healthy lifestyle is getting regular exercise.
Free Online Training Program for Teachers and Parents
Medtronic TC Kids Marathon provides a fun and effective way for teachers and parents to encourage kids to exercise by providing a free, flexible and practical online training program that you build according to your own needs. All that’s needed to start is an adult registering with a valid e-mail address.
The online training program includes 12-week, 8-week and 4-week options, and are recommended for kids in grades K-8. Programs are geared to varied levels of fitness and can be customized for either the classroom environment or for running at home. To get started, click here. The summer/fall 12 week cycle of training begins the week of July 5 and you can join at any time.
Added Fun and Motivation
While you can sign up and start a program anytime, watch for special times throughout the year when incentives are offered if you register and participate in certain activities by posted deadlines.
Sign up for a kids training program and receive an incentive for every participant, and learn about more incentives available from Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Events Just For Kids
Regularly-held community running events celebrate training activities by bringing classes and families together in a fun-filled, supportive environment. |
