How You Can Fundraise for Kids Run the OC Through the OC Marathon's Runner Rebate Program?

Are you passionate about supporting youth fitness and education? Through the OC Marathon’s Runner Rebate Program, you can make a lasting impact on the Kids Run the OC program while participating in one of the most exciting running events in Southern California!

The OC Marathon Foundation is dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles and fitness education for youth through its various initiatives, including Kids Run the OC. This program encourages children to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle while preparing them to complete their very own "marathon" over a period of weeks, leading up to the final mile during the OC Marathon weekend. With your help, we can ensure that even more kids have access to this incredible opportunity.

The Runner Rebate Program is a unique way for runners to raise funds for their favorite cause and get rewarded at the same time.
