Anyone can run the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana Kids Marathon Challenge and you can run it wherever you are!

We've mapped out 8 marathon routes in some of the major parts of the state. Working with the Louisiana Department of Education - LA Healthy Schools, we want to give everyone a chance to be a part of the fun. Pick your area, run a total of 26.2 miles from the safety of your neighborhood, track your progress on the Virtual Marathon Challenge map, and get rewarded for a job well done!
