Race Description
The Huntsville Track Club is excited to host the Rocket City Kids Marathon, a non-competitive event for children in grades K - 8. This unique marathon initiative encourages kids to complete a full marathon (26.2 miles) through a 14-week program leading up to the race. Participants track their progress by completing approximately 1.75 miles each week, culminating in a final celebratory mile at the Rocket City Marathon's official finish line.
The Rocket City Kids Marathon aims to inspire children to adopt an active lifestyle through running and physical activity. Each participant will receive a race T-shirt and finishers will be awarded a medal. The marathon will take place on December 14, 2024, at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, AL, where kids can run their last mile in front of cheering supporters, making it a memorable experience for all involved.
