Introduction: We are excited to introduce the Kids Run the Line, Too virtual race and fundraiser, designed to engage students in physical activity while supporting a great cause.
Complement: This initiative complements the Run the Line half marathon in Texarkana, USA.
🏃♂️ How It Works
Pledging for Miles: Students will secure pledges from family and friends for each mile they run during P.E. classes, at home, or wherever!
Running for a Cause: The miles will be accumulated over a three month time period, promoting fitness and healthy habits among students.
Social Media Shoutout: Each week, coaches or parents can submit a photo of the kids who complete their mile, and the schools with participants on track will receive a social media shoutout.
Email for Photos: Send photos to lpt1229@gmail.com.
Collecting Donations: Throughout the running period, students will collect the pledged amounts, which will directly support the Partnership for the Pathways, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding trails in Texarkana.
