All participants will receive a Five Points of Life Marathon medal and a commemorative tee-shirt. Kids will not run a marathon, just the last 1.2 miles as if they had done so.
The goal is to promote good health through physical activity and to teach youngsters the "Five Points of Life", five ways they can help save lives when they are old enough to do so.
The "Five Points" are - blood donation, platelets, bone marrow, cord blood and organ/tissue donation.
