Written by Stefanie Ediger

For coaches and educators.

A Supporter is someone you invite to help manage or support your Marathon Kids club, such as a classroom teacher, coworker, principal, or regular volunteer. You choose their permission level based on the help they will provide.

You can invite as many Supporters as you need.

Frequently asked questions

Does being a Supporter track the adult’s own miles?

No. Supporter access is separate from being a participant. If an adult wants to track their own miles, also add them to the roster as a participant with the grade Other. Those miles count toward club totals and can be filtered by grade.
