What is the Hy-Vee Mile at a Time Marathon?

• The Mile At A Time Marathon is a fitness challenge for any kid in grades K-6 to complete a marathon distance of 26.2 miles by walking or running one mile at a time.

How Much Does It Cost?

• The Mile at a Time Marathon is free, as is registration in the Hy-Vee Mile at a Time Marathon Finale at the Kansas Half Marathon in April.

How Do I Complete My Miles?

• Similar to the Library’s Summer Reading Program, this is a self-directed, family and community activity. The program officially kicked off November 7th, but you can still sign up at any Hy-Vee and participate. You can go on family walks, run with a family member, friend, or participate in a school marathon club, a school-sponsored program (if available), or community fun runs. Every mile counts toward your total.
