About this Event

Greater Huntsville Chapter of Jack and Jill
Children’s Fun Run: Road to 26.1!

The Greater Huntsville Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., in partnership with Fleet Feet, proudly invites you to participate in our Children’s Fun Run, a fun and engaging event designed to promote physical activity, movement, and healthy habits for children and families.

In the weeks leading up to race day, participants will track their physical activity as they work toward accumulating 25.1 miles through walking, running, sports, dance, or other forms of movement. On race day, each child will complete the journey by running or walking one final mile, reaching a total of 26.1 miles — the distance of a marathon!

Mileage tracking forms are linked on this site and should be used to record progress leading up to the event.

This event is free and open to all children ages 4–18 years old. Parents are required to participate alongside children under the age of 8.

Join us as we encourage fitness, discipline, goal-setting, and fun — one mile at a time. Let’s move together, celebrate healthy habits, and cross the finish line strong!
