The deadline to sign up to run with Jefferson is Thursday, February 11.
Dear Jefferson Families,
This year, we are going to be participating in the OKC Kids Memorial Marathon! Take a look at the info to see if your family/student would like to sign up.
When: OKC Kids Marathon on Saturday, April 25, at 9:00 AM. (You'd need to arrive earlier to meet up with our group, time TBA.)
Where: Downtown OKC
Who: The Kids Marathon is open to all children 12 years of age or younger. Kids will receive an event shirt, race bib, post- race fuel, and finishers medal. Parents/guardians who choose to run MUST register as an adult. Only adults with a child participating can register.
How it works: Participants will log 25 miles from now until race day. On race day, kids will complete their Marathon by running or walking the last 1.2 miles in person.
Opportunities to log the 25 miles prior to race day:
Go for walks/runs in your neighborhood
Log the miles that you run when you play on a sports team
Log the miles you do during Walking Club
Students can attend Run/Walk Club after school on Mondays with teacher sponsors. Students must be picked up by 3:30 at the gym doors. This starts on Monday, January 26, and will occur every Monday until Race Day on April 25.
Cost: $25 for students, $35 for adults
Transportation on Race Day: Parents/guardians would be responsible for transporting their student to and from the race on Saturday, April 25. If this is a barrier to participation, please let us know.
What happens at the end of the race? Students are kept in a safe location with staff members at the end of the race until each student can be safely reunited with their grown-up.
How to sign up: Please fill out this sign up form. Once we know how many students and parents plan to attend, we will register as a school so we can run as a group on Race Day. We will pick up everyone's race packets and distribute them to students prior to Race Day.
