2019 PUBLIX ATLANTA KIDS MARATHON

2019 Publix Atlanta Kids Marathon

The Publix Atlanta Kids Marathon will show kids what it means to be part of a big city marathon. Held at the same location where the 2020 Olympic Team Trials - Marathon will take place, this race gives kids ages 14 & under the chance to get out, get active, and get acquainted with running as they finish under Publix Atlanta Marathon finish line. Plus, stick around after for a post-race finish festival and the opportunity to meet three-time Olympic gold medalist Gail Devers.

Kids ages 7-14 can run the 2.62K, kids 8 & under can run the 262m, and kids 4 & under can run the 26.2m.

All participants will receive a T-shirt and a finisher's medal. Awards will be given to the top three boys and girls in each age group for the 2.62K and to the three teams with the fastest average time. Teams will also compete for up to $2,000 in grant money by bringing the most participants.
