For coaches and educators.
Overview
Classes group participants so you can organize ID cards, find runners, and review results for each group. You can use homerooms, class periods, or community groups to match the way your program runs.
Why use classes?
Filter the Impact Report by class.
View reports for a specific class.
Find participants by their class or group.

Create classes before manually adding or recruiting participants.
Choose clear class names
The class name appears on participant ID cards. If you leave it blank, Marathon Kids uses the teacher’s first and last name.
Choose a short, recognizable name and use the same naming pattern across your club:
Elementary schools: Use the homeroom teacher’s name, such as “Jones” or “Smith.”
Middle and high schools: Include the class period and teacher’s last name, such as “P1 Jones” and “P2 Jones.”
Community organizations: Use a group leader’s name or a group name, such as “Jones” or “Smith Racers.”
