This program is open to all children entering Grade 3-7 in September.
Children run the equivalent of a marathon (42.195 KM) over the course of the 15-week program. The program will start with a 1 KM run on Canada Day (July 1) and will end with a 3 KM run on the Saturday of the Trapline Marathon weekend. There will be 12 group sessions during the 15 week program on Thursday evenings throughout the summer. In addition to the group sessions, children will be asked to track each 30 minutes of exercise (soccer, hockey, swimming, etc) that they complete during the week (30 minutes of exercise = 1 KM).
Important Note:
Since its inception, the TRC has promoted the importance of living an active and healthy lifestyle. The TRC continues to encourage and invest in the development of running for individuals of all ages including children and youth.
In 2012, the TRC launched its Kids Marathon Program which encourages kids in the community to remain active throughout the summer and develop and strengthen their running technique. The TRC is not offering the program in 2018 but looks forward to once again providing this benefit in 2019!
