Marathon Kids organizes your participants by class or group to help you sort and organize your data and ID cards as well as create friendly competitions within your season.

The class name is what appears on the ID card. If left blank we auto-populate this to the first name and last name of the teacher.

In order to manually add or recruit participants, you must add classes first.

We organize by classes or groups so you can:

  • Filter data on the Impact Dashboard by a class

  • View reports by class

  • Filter your search for specific participants

  • Organize and print ID cards

  • Easily add miles manually by class
