Kids on the GO!
The 95210 Kids on the Go! Program was implemented by the NCH Safe & Health Children's Coalition in 2012 with the Collier County Public Schools as an effort to increase physical activity and decrease the incidence of obesity among kids.
Participants in the 95210 Kids on the Go! program run a total of 26.2 miles, the equivalent of a full marathon over the course of the school year. Health champions at each school monitor children as they make progress toward the target distance. Children run on school grounds either before or after formal school hours. Health champions log the children's progress and those kids who achieve the 26.2 mile goal can participate in a final celebratory mile run at the local feeder high school.
