YMCA of Columbia proud sponsor of Columbia SC Kids’ Marathon
The YMCA of Columbia is a proud sponsor of the 2012 Columbia SC Kids’ Marathon, the first event of its kind in Columbia. It is an innovative six-month endurance-building running and walking program designed for children kindergarten through fifth grade. Children will run the distance of a full marathon (26.2 miles) over the course of six months. To achieve this goal, kids must train for the last mile of their marathon by running a total of 25.2 miles in increments between September 6, 2011 and March 5, 2012 to qualify for race day participation. This is not a timed event and the motto is “if you had fun, you won!”
The Kids Marathon is being held in conjunction with the 2012 Columbia SC Marathon on March 10, 2012 at 7:10 a.m.
