The Marathon will take place on the field behind the school parking lot. The course will be roped off and as each child passes the start line they will receive a rubber band to put on their wrist. The children come out with their class and stay to cheer on the next group of kids. Parents are welcome to come and cheer the kids on! Check the schedule below to find out when you child is scheduled to run! Each child will receive a certificate of participation once the event concludes.
How will the Maverick Marathon money be used?
All of the funds collected will directly benefit the students of St. Joseph School. The funds raised will be going towards our Physical Education Equipment and Programs.
Sponsor your teacher!
