PTSA Eagles Marathon

 

The PTSA Eagles Marathon takes place during lunch recesses Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. All students K-5 as well as teachers, staff and parents are invited to participate!

 

How It Works:

During lunch recess on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, students can run, skip, or hop around the marathon loop, working toward a 26.2-mile marathon goal—or just enjoying a healthy, active break with friends.  The goal of the Eagles Marathon is to encourage students to be active, lead a healthy lifestyle and have fun!  As a side benefit, Peter Kirk teachers tell us the kids are more focused and better able to learn after they’ve run!

 

Some changes for this year:
  • we’re keeping the momentum going! Instead of stopping for finisher tunnels, runners can enjoy their full recess of movement and fun.
  • 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!
  • we’re staying hydrated and keeping our yard clean! Runners are encouraged to bring their own labeled water bottles to fuel their fun and keep the energy going!

 

Rewards and Recognition:

Each mile earns students a colorful toe token for their necklace, and those who complete a full marathon will have their photo taken and will receive a certificate. Students receive the necklaces with toe tokens after the completion of the marathon program in June. 

 

We Need Your Help!

Parent volunteers are needed daily to help scan lap cards as students complete each lap. This is a fantastic volunteer opportunity for parents who are able to break away occasionally from the workplace during lunchtime. Sign up to volunteer today!
