The Read, Right, & Run Marathon® was launched in 2001 and quickly gained national recognition as the country’s only fully integrated marathon for children. The Read, Right & Run Marathon’s goal is to develop reading
proficient, physically fit and community minded children
by challenging them to READ 26 books, RIGHT the
community with 26 good deeds, and RUN 26.2 miles over
a six-month period. It is a standards-based, sustainable
enrichment program that endorses and supports existing
school curriculum.

All of that hard work culminates each year when the K-5
students run their final 1.2 miles and the middle schoolers
run a 5K (3.1 miles) at our Family Day in Forest Park.
More than 15,000 area students have accepted the
challenge since the program was established. The Read,
Right & Run Marathon is open to schools, organizations
and individual students.
