Every time you participate, refer a friend or donate to Irving Marathon Running Series; you are impacting the current and future health of children via the irun program.
Irving Marathon teamed up with Baylor Scott & White Irving Health Foundation and Irving, Grand Prarie, and Coppell ISD to encourage students to get active and learn healthy exercise routines and habits. Kids are challenged to run the distance of a marathon throughout the school year. They receive incentives to reward their accomplishments at miles 5, 10, and 18.
Every $10 dollars donated helps sponsor, roughly 2.5 children, to participate in irun. Because of all our past participants and donors, 11,000 kids have benefited from the irun program. Thank you to all Irving Marathon Running Series participants and donors. You are truly making a difference in their lives by helping them learn and adopt a healthy lifestyle that they carry into their adult lives and reverse the course of the obesity epidemic.
