The Kids Marathon Series brings together children throughout Australia and New Zealand to participate in an event that will change their lives.
The Kids Marathon lets school children run a marathon, safely, one kilometre at a time. It provides incentive, motivation, goal setting, rewards for achievment and promotes a healthy and active lifestyle among children.

PERTH hosts another successful Kids Marathon.
Just a note to thank you all for putting on the Kids Marathon as part of the weekend Perth Marathon. Our son Cooper not only had a great morning on Sunday, he also really got into the training runs (so did the school) in the weeks leading up to the run. The medal went to bed with him last night and he is already asking us if he can do it again next year.
Thanks once again for your time in organising and making it a great fun event for the kids.
Cheers
Donna and Cooper
