Marathon for Kids 2024

Marathon Kids - Report by Layla and Jessica in Ms Duggan's 6th Class

Marathon Kids Ireland is an 8-week programmed targeting 6th class students in schools across Ireland. Students learn about the health benefits of sport and perform four running sessions each week, completing their first marathon and learning about the benefits of physical activity. Over the last 8 weeks (about 2 months) the Mercy Primary School 6th classes have taken part in the Marathon Kids Ireland Programme in school. They have worked hard and will always continue to exercise to keep themselves healthy, improve their fitness and their overall health and wellbeing.
