2009 Registration Is Now Open!
Finish a Marathon...Kid Style!
Saturday, January 17, 2009 - Tempe, AZ
Finishing a marathon is child's play with the Phoenix Children's Hospital Kids Rock - a one-mile fun run for children ages 6-12. This non-competitive, non-timed event is all about having fun and making it to the finish line.
Participants can become full marathon finishers by completing a 25.2-mile training program prior to January 17th, or they can just run, walk or jog the one-mile course on race day. Every child is a winner and will be rewarded with an official race number, T-shirt, goodie bag, free headliner concert and medal - just for finishing!
