Juveland’s students have 30 minutes run. “Some students try and run the whole time, Some just like to walk for most of the time, with spurts of running. Students will cover from 1/2 a mile to almost 2 miles per session.” How long is the workout session for your Marathon Kids?

“A lot of our kids love to be outside to run,” Bounds says, “so I am thankful we have good weather even though it is hot.” “When our kids feel unmotivated, they usually stop and walk with a friend, or I will run with them to get them back moving.” marathonkids.org/meador-element…

Davis says, “most of our students are very active. They spend as much time as possible playing outside at the park, riding bikes, shooting baskets or walking around town with friends. So getting them to exercise is not too hard.” More about Coach Davis: marathonkids.org/coach-kaitlyn-…
