Marathon Kids Walk and Talk Program
This summer, we invite you to take the Walk and Talk challenge. Walk a mile with your child and talk about a new topic each day. We’ll provide a special mileage log to track the distance you walk, along with 26 conversation starter cards—one for each mile. By the end of summer, you’ll have walked the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles), and have gotten to know your child a little better along the way.
