Third year for Mango Kids Fun Run July 2, 2009 (Miramichi) - For the third year in a row, the Mango Kids Fun Run will be taking place Sunday, July 5 and will see hundreds of children participating. This fun run completes the final 2.2 km of the Go for 42 program which took place in area schools from May 11-June 12. This program saw children from kindergarten to grade 8 in School Districts 9, 11 and 16 completing a 40 km marathon over a 4-week period. Children completed the first 40 km of this marathon with their classmates and teachers. For each 5 km they walked or jogged, the children received colourful shoe tags. Go for 42 and the Mango Kids Fun Run is a great opportunity for families to get involved and together see the need to put physical activity into their daily lives.
