What is the Woburn Kids Pursuit of 26.2?
The Kids Pursuit of 26.2 is an event that gives children ages 7-12 the opportunity to complete a modified marathon over an extended period of time. Kids complete 25 miles prior to race day using the suggested training program provided. Participants have 8 weeks to complete the miles on their own by running, jogging, rolling, or walking. On race day, all registered participants finish their marathon as they run their final mile on the official course at Horn Pond and finish by crossing the finish line! The goal of this program is to encourage children to become more active by following a fun, simple, running and/or walking program.
 
Training Program
The Kids Pursuit of 26.2 Training Program is designed specifically for children and will help them reach their mileage goal prior to race day. The training program is free and is available in this packet. Children can train at home with an adult training partner or you can join up with a friend to do the program together. Parents should consult with your child’s physician before beginning this or any fitness program.
 
Program will begin on July 22nd and run for 8 weeks.  The cost for this program is $30 and will include a t-shirt at the end of the program plus an additional gift once you complete half of the program.  The final 1.2 race will be the weekend of September 12th. Once you are registered we will sending out packets to all registrants.  We will have a half marathon packet for young children that just want to complete a smaller portion of the race.

* Adjustments and discounts will be applied during checkout if applicable. *
