Their vision is for children and their carers/families to become healthier, happier and more confident through being active. They aim to reach them through their – Park Kids Events and their Marathon Kids schools programme, creating Kids Run Free Communities across the UK.
It’s not just about engaging the children – their community events offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities to benefit people from every walk of life. Volunteering can improve your chances of getting back into work, add kudos to your CV and help with social isolation and loneliness.
WHAT IS PARK KIDS?
These are fun community running events held in parks and greens spaces across the UK. It’s all about encouraging children to be active from an early age and Park Kids helps to create healthy habits and community spirit. The events are suitable for all ages and abilities, fully inclusive, and best of all – FREE!
WHAT IS MARATHON KIDS?
A fully inclusive and SEND friendly running programme for schools which motivates children to run or walk multiple marathons over the academic year. It’s all about children setting their own personal goals and working towards them. Schools receive a FREE online tracking system to check children’s progress and celebrate their milestones. Plus, children have a better chance of achieving the recommended 30 minutes of daily physical activity in school time.
