100% of donations to the Sponsor A Student To Run Program go towards the race registration costs for students in need. At each event, Irving Marathon Running Series donates 20-25 race registrations to students in need. Your donation helps children of our community practice wellness at an early level. Children who learn at an early age to be self-motivated, stay active, and make healthy lifestyle choices have a lower risk of having obesity and other critical health conditions. The Irving Marathon Running Series is taking steps early for a healthy future.
