Save to Favorites

Thank you for you interest in volunteering with Marathon Kids! Marathon Kids is a non-profit organization committed to improving the health of children by providing them with the motivation, tools, and support in order to live happier, healthier lifestyles. Created in 1996 as a running program for elementary-age children, today, the organization reaches nearly 300,000 children and families in 1,000 schools across the country. Our services and materials will soon be available to engage families no matter where they live. Our events are proven motivators for our Kids. They are an integral part of the success of the Marathon Kids program, and your support makes it all possible! Marathon Kids Finisher Medal Celebration will take place at the Tom Tellez Track Stadium on April 18th, 2015 at 3100 Cullen Blvd., University of Houston, Houston, TX 77204.

Volunteer Shifts are as follows: 6:30am-11am, 7am-12pm, 8am-1pm. (YOU ARE ALSO WELCOME TO STAY AND VOLUNTEER THE ENTIRE DAY!) We ask that you volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours but we GREATLY appreciate any extra time you can give. The jobs range from high-fiving the kids and handing out rewards to assisting with crowd control. The event itself starts at 10am, and we expect thousands of kids, parents and teachers to attend. They all run one lap around the track in heats of about 150 until everyone has run and received their rewards! If you're a superstar leader at events like this please let me know if you're interested in being a "captain" for groups of volunteers. These are very important positions for very strong people. You must be able to tell people "no." If you are bringing a group to volunteer with you, then please let me know how many you anticipate will be joining you. Please email us at programs@marathonkids.org. Thank you!
