Saturday, March 1, 2008; Little Rock, AR - ArPTA members helped line the streets of Little Rock on a bright Saturday morning to show their support for the kids participating in the Little Rockers Marathon Program - a fun and beneficial running and/or walking program. The Little Rockers Kids Marathon is an event that gives children, ages 7-12, the opportunity to complete a modified marathon over an extended period of time. Kids complete 25.2 miles prior to race day using the Little Rockers Kids Marathon Training Program, presented by Arkansas Children's Hospital. Participants have several months to complete the miles on their own or through their school by either running, jogging or walking. On race day, all participants finish their marathon as they run the last mile of the actual course and cross the official Little Rock Marathon finish line.
