GRADE LEVEL MILEAGE TOTALS
Celebrate how many miles the entire grade level has conquered together. You could even set individual grade-level mileage goals to conquer by the end of your season.
Idea #1 Filter your Impact Dashboard by a grade to provide updates quickly.
When you filter your Impact Dashboard by a GRADE, all of the data changes reflect the data just for that grade.
Total miles and marathons, average mile per participant, monthly mileage totals, and top 5 participants of that grade.
Monitor the average mile per participant for each grade level. This is a way to make this fair if one grade has more kids than the other grade level.

Idea #2 Pull a Grade Leaderboard Report to share updates on each grade.
The first page of the Grade Leaderboard Report shows you Grade Level Mileage totals for the date range you selected.
Post your updates on your Marathon Kids bulletin board. Use the Top Grade title card.

CLASS MILEAGE TOTALS
Idea #1 Filter your Impact Dashboard by a class to provide updates.
When you filter your Impact Dashboard by a CLASS, all of the data changes to reflect the data just for that grade.
Total miles and marathons, average mile per participant, monthly mileage totals, and top 5 participants of that grade.
Monitor the average mile per participant for each class. This is a way to make this fair if one class has more kids than the other classes.

USE THE DATE RANGE TO CREATE CHALLENGES
Keep the excitement and motivation high with challenges throughout your season!
We have several reports that allow you to customize the date range to view the data for that time period.
This allows you to create mini-challenges throughout the running season to find new individual leaders, top grade, and/or top class.
Runner Mileage - drill down to the individual runner.
Grade Leaderboard - view Grade and Class Mileage totals.
Leaderboard - check out the top 10, 25, 50, or overall participants in your club.

GOLDEN SNEAKER/GOLDEN SHOE REWARD
Celebrate your top runner, grade, or class with the Golden Shoe award. We've heard this called the Golden Shoe, Golden Sneaker, and even the Golden Trophy reward.
This is a coach-created reward and how you decide to reward is up to you!
Example: The class with the most miles, during the challenge, in each grade level wins the Golden Shoe. They get to keep the shoe in their class until the next awarding cycle.
