Our Mission
The Princeton HealthCare KIDS MARATHON promotes health and fitness in children while engaging them in a fun activity that hopes to promote a lifetime of physical activity and community involvement.
With childhood obesity and the ensuing health problems growing in our population, the Community Connection of Princeton HealthCare seeks to address this issue with a longitudinal fitness activity that is fun and easy for children, families and the community at large.
Getting into shape becomes a collective effort with incentives for achievements along the way and culminating in a fun day of the final 1.2 miles race followed by family-centered activities and refreshments.
"I am absolutely delighted that kids are running and raising funds to help ensure that children in our community have access to high quality healthcare. The future depends on raising healthy, educated youth." - -Dr. Margaret Lancefield. Medical Director of UMCPP Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center
