 With the wonderful support of Cariten Healthcare, we are happy to offer the 1.2 mile Cariten Kids' Run as part of the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon.
Date: Sun, 3/29/09
Time: 7:10 a.m.
The Cariten Kids’ Run is a program created to encourage our local children to lead healthy and active lifestyles while participating in an exciting, goal oriented, community event. Those participating will run a total of 25 miles in the time period leading up to the race (March 29, 2009). On race day, participants will run a 1.2 mile course, finally completing the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. They have an option to run or walk the 26.2 miles. Our goal is not only to address personal fitness, but to build self esteem and confidence through goal setting and teamwork.
Parents and/or teachers are encouraged to help during the process. Coupon rewards will be provided at various points along the way! All logs should be turned in upon packet pickup the day before the race. MANDATORY Packet pick-up will be Saturday, March 28th at the
Knoxville
Convention and Exhibition Center.
