Don’t leave the kids out of the fun this Philadelphia Marathon weekend! Join us for the Verizon Kids Fun Run, a short distance, non-competitive event for youngsters ages 4-12. Each age group will run age-appropriate distances. And, because this run is all about fun, runners will not be timed.
There will be plenty of prizes for the kids, along with activities like face painting, arts and crafts and an obstacle course.
The first 250 participants of the Verizon Kids Fun Run will receive:
- A t-shirt
- A finisher medal
- Post-race refreshments
- Other surprise goodies!
To join in the run, children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Waivers are required and will be available on-site.
