Compete in a Marathon without having to run!  You can complete a 26 mile “marathon” by participating in many physical activities.  We will be tracking your “Mile Markers” and you can earn prizes as you pass “Milestones” on your way to 26 miles.  This is a great way to encourage a healthy lifestyle and promote physical activity among youth. The Youth Fitness Marathon is co-sponsored by the Lost Dutchman Marathon and Apache Junction Parks & Recreation.  The Youth Fitness Marathon will culminate in a day of fun youth fitness activities at Prospector Park on February 21, 2011 (on the day of the Lost Dutchman Marathon).
