Wenatchee Kids Marathon

The organizers of the Wenatchee Marathon are pleased to present an exciting opportunity for area students and educators.

The kick-off event to the Wenatchee marathon will be a 1.2 mile kids run. The kids run will start and finish at the marathon start line on Wenatchee avenue at Centennial park. Anyone may register for the race, but we are encouraging participants to use the 1.2 mile run as the final leg in an incremental marathon.

The 1.2 mile race may be used as the final leg and culminating goal in a spring running program in which kids run 1-4 miles per week over 11 weeks.

***all participants will receive a commemorative race finishers medal***
