KiDS ROCK training guide

Training Guide

The KiDS ROCK series has provided you with a free, fun, and easy-to-use Training Guides to help runners of all abilities complete their first marathon! The goal of the program is to empower kids to choose a healthy lifestyle and to reduce childhood obesity. By participating in this program, you’ll join kids all across the United States to complete a running program to get ready for your KiDS ROCK event.

At the end of the program, you will run in one fantastic final mile, specially designed for you, which when added to your training equals at least 26.2 miles –a marathon!

You’ll receive a finisher’s medal, a t-shirt, and other goodies! This training guide contains a training plan for a 4, 6, or 8 week program, information on nutrition and stretching, as well as marathon fun facts and suggestions on how to start a running program at your own school.
