How It Works
Inspiring Healthy Kids
Kilometer Kids, brought to you by the Atlanta Track Club, is an incentive-based running program designed to get kids in the community active! The program inspires youth to achieve health and fitness through a fun and supportive running program, empowering children with the knowledge they need to make smart lifestyle choices.
Kilometer Kids participants run 26.2 miles over an 11-week period, virtually completing the Atlanta Marathon course by tracking their miles online. Whether you are a teacher looking to start an afterschool program, or a parent who wants to run with their child in the neighborhood, the 11-week online program is a great way to engage children ages 7 to 12 in the sport of running.
