Amy Dixon's Company Details
Marathon Kids is a nonprofit organization, headquartered in Austin, TX, that is dedicated to improving the health of children by providing them with the motivation, tools and support to live happier, healthier lifestyles.Marathon Kids started out with the simple mission to introduce children to the joy of running, but it has evolved into an evidence-based running/walking program for elementary school kids in the United States. We've stood up to rigorous tests to prove that our program mitigates the negative health effects of a sedentary lifestyle and ardently pushes for access around the country. The vast majority of kids don't get the 60 minutes of physical activity they need each day. Marathon Kids running program has proven effective—even transformational—for millions of kids, families, organizations and schools.
