“Exercise is vital for children’s upbringing,” Event Organizer and McAllen ISD PE and Health Coordinator Mario Reyna said. “By instilling healthy habits in children at a young age, those habits can then benefit children for their entire lives. This is a great event for children and families.”

Representatives from McAllen ISD and the City of McAllen are co-organizing the event with support from the community. There will be music, mascots, cheerleaders and more.

Kids can register for free with their PE coach or online at mcallenkidsmarathon.com.
