MaraFun

The Saskatchewan Marathon is proud to present to you Marafun for kids  

Marafun is a program that has been developed by the SRRA in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Marathon.  The Marafun will provide the opportunity for kids ages 7 – 13 years to participate in the Saskatchewan Marathon in a novel way. Each Marafun participant will run, walk, or wheelchair a minimum of 4 km per week in the weeks leading up to race day.  They’ll cap off their hard work with a fun 2.2 km run on part of the marathon course on Race Day. Throughout the program, there will be opportunities for the participants to learn about an active lifestyle, maintain a physical activity program to promote health, and the importance of having personal goals. It is truly a unique way for kids to increase their activity levels, nutritional knowledge, and self-esteem!

The Marafun program has grown from less than 300 participants in 2011 to more than 1600 kids in 2019.
