⚠️ Important things to know
Completing these steps makes you eligible for a drawing, but does not guarantee a gift.
There are typically more eligible coaches than available gifts.
Recipients are selected through a random drawing.
Multiple Coaches at One School:
Each coach must complete the steps individually to be eligible.
If one coach is selected, it does not guarantee others at the same school will be selected.
We are incredibly grateful for everything you do to support your students and bring Marathon Kids to life.
Coach surprise & delights are just one small way our sponsors say thank you — and while they vary from year to year, your impact remains constant and meaningful.
