Rod Dixon’s Central Plateau KiDSMARTHON Program
We are very excited to have the first group of primary and intermediate aged students participating in our new 2.5km and 5km races at the Taupo Marathon for 2025. On Saturday August 3rd 2025, a large number of 8-13 year old students will be running their final 2kms of their 42 kms marathon distance, and for some of the very keen older intermediate students - they will be running the 5km race to finish up their 100km Ultra marathon distance.
The Central Plateau KiDSMARATHON Programme is being facilitated by Elliott Coaching and the Rod Dixon KiDSMARATHON Foundation. Thousands of students from all over the world have participated in Rod Dixon’s KiDSMARATHON Programme - which is an 8-10 week programme that has students running a certain number of kilometres per week, participating in fun fitness sessions, learning about healthy eating and nutrition, and most importantly having fun, working as a team, and gaining fitness, confidence, and a ‘I can do anything, if I put my mind to it attitude!’
If you have a child or group of students that are interested in participating in this amazing and life changing programme; contact elliottcoachingnz@gmail.com by mid May 2025. The programme will kick start from the middle of May through to August on race day. Shoe Clinic, Goodness Me, Asics, Elliott Coaching, and the Rod Dixon Foundation are the major sponsors behind this event.
