Presented by Virginia Mason Pediatrics
 Start Building Healthy Habits Today!
The Seafair Kids Mini Marathon presented by Virginia Mason Pediatrics is an event designed to engage children in physical fitness and healthy living though running. This program teaches youth the importance of goal setting and positive attitudes while completing a full marathon (26.2 miles) in a way that is fun and safe for growing bodies!
Kids complete 25.2 of the 26.2 miles prior to race day. Participants have until the day of the race to run, walk, or jog the first 25.2 miles under supervision of parents, coaches, teachers or guardians who will sign off on the Seafair Kids Mini Marathon Running Log upon completion of each mile. Also along the way participants can redeem coupons for great prizes.
On race day kids complete their marathon experience by running the final mile on the actual marathon race course, ending at the official VM Team Medicine Sefaair Marathon finish line!
Seafair and Virginia Mason Pediatrics want to help fight childhood obesity by teaching the fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle, including good habits and goal setting while emphasizing healthy nutrition and positive attitudes. By completing a marathon, Seafair believes kids will realize the importance of physical fitness, driving them towards a lifetime of good physical health.
Children currently enrolled in kindergarten to seventh grade are encouraged to participate in the Seafair Kids Mini Marathon event.
