Marathon Volunteers Still Needed!

4/23/2025 9:23 am

 
We're looking for volunteers Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays April 24-June 10 to help track miles. There are multiple time slots of just 45 min. increments.  
 
It is a great way for family members to get involved!  All you have to do is sign-up for the lap tracker app on your phone, hit start and scan as our students complete each lap.  
 
The app will track all student progress as they work toward 26.2 miles! 
 

Questions, email us at marathon@peterkirkptsa.org.  

Marathon Starts Thursday!

4/22/2025 12:34 pm

Students! Start with a good stretch, tie your laces tight and get set to run, walk or skip Thursday, April 24 at lunch recess! 

 

Reminders and changes for your students:

  1. HAVE FUN!  Talk to your student about running for fun and there is success running 1 lap or a full marathon!

  2. RUNNING CARDS - These are to STAY AT SCHOOL in your student’s cubby. Please remind your student that these cards will not come home with them and to keep them at school in their cubby. If a student forgets their card, we will be able to track laps for them that day.  

  3. LOST CARDS - If a student loses their card, they will need to tell a marathon volunteer to have a new one printed.

  4. WATER - Please encourage your student to bring out their labeled water bottle to recess.

  5. FINISHING - We’re keeping the momentum going! Instead of stopping for finisher tunnels, runners can enjoy their full recess of movement and fun.

  6. PRIZES - We’re celebrating every finisher! All students who complete the full 26.2 miles will be entered into a raffle to win a prize pack!

  7. CLASS GOALS - To encourage teamwork, there are class goals this year. They are set based on students per class and grade. A bulletin board near the office will track progress. All classes that meet their goal will take a group photo on June 10 and receive a prize after the marathon concludes.
