Two of the Marathon Kids pillars of the program are Celebrating and Rewarding.
Celebrating
Big cheers and high-fives go a long way to reinforce long-term behavior adoption.
Kids enjoy positive recognition. Layering simple, encouraging celebrations develop their
intrinsic motivation and makes them feel a part of something bigger.
Create a fun, positive environment for your participants.
Share achievements at every opportunity.
Celebrations continue to remind participants that they are working as a team to reach the club’s goal.
Use your Impact Dashboard to provide overall club updates.
“We have made it halfway to our goal! All together we’ve conquered ____ miles.”
Create Challenges using the date range feature to keep motivation high!
Utilize announcements, assemblies, emails and newsletters, in-class recognition, etc.
Give shout-outs and high-fives to make participants feel acknowledged and encouraged.

Rewarding
Kids love being recognized which supports the creation and foundation of new habits. Consistent positive recognition fuels kids to keep striving for their next milestone.
Remember to reward not only individual effort but class, grade level and the
entire club efforts.
Keep it simple.
Certificates and verbal recognition go a long way.
