Marathon Kids is an Austin-based nonprofit that has kept Austin Independent School District (AISD) students running for over twenty years. Students at Lee in grades 1-6 will be challenged to run the equivalent of four marathons (104.8 miles!) over the course of the school year.

Throughout the year, when students complete a 26.2 mile marathon, they will receive exclusive Marathon Kids rewards. Coach Reyes will provide rewards for any marathons ran over the goal of four marathons. Marathon Kids has implemented a digital tracking system that has Lee students excited to get moving everyday.

• We typically have a friendly grade level competition. The first grade level to complete their first marathon gets tie-dye shirts when they receive the white 26.2 and counting t-shirts from marathon kids.
• Coach Rangel provides weekly updates in the glass case in the main hallway.
• Prizes get passed out on the 26th of each month. Students are encouraged to wear their shirts and prizes on the 26th of each month.
