The
Mississauga MaraFun reinforces our commitment to provide
something for everyone on marathon weekend and has been
designed to encourage young people to get active by
running or walking a total of 40 kilometres over a six
week period. On race weekend, participants finish their
marathon distance by completing the final two kilometres
of the challenge on the actual marathon route to the
cheers of thousands of spectators. Upon crossing the
finish line each participant will receive a finishers
medal and a certificate of completion. The event is
geared towards kids in grades two through eight and will
be completed through the honour system under the
guidance and verification of a parent, teacher or coach.
The
Mississauga MaraFun presents a wonderful opportunity for
kids to enjoy the benefits of good health and well being
through physical activity, as well as focus on fundraising
for one of our charitable partners.
