The Cardston Kids Marathon encourages children and families to become more active by following a fun, simple running, walking, or rolling (wheelchair) program. The goal for each participant is to complete at least 25.2 miles before race day. A marathon is 26.2 miles (42.1km).
On race day, participants who are registered and have reached their mileage goal will complete their final mile on the official route in front of family, friends and spectators. As the participant cross the finish line, each will be presented with their finisher’s medal and refreshments.

The Cardston Elementary School Parent Council is excited to sponsor the Second Annual Cardston Kids Marathon for children aged kindergarten through grade 6, their families, friends and community! Upon registering each participant will receive a pedometer and a training log. If a replacement pedometer is needed there will be a $3 fee. The pedometer is to help them log their distance completed and the training log is to record their distance completed. They will log 25.2 miles in ¼ mile increments.
- Participants that register and successfully log 25.2 miles will complete the final mile of the marathon on Race Day (June 23, 2010 @ noon).
- Parents must register their CES student and pay the registration fee at the CES office during CES school hours. Grandparents, siblings and community members are welcome and encouraged to register for the Cardston Kids Marathon! (Registration Deadline: May 8, 2010 ).
