Grandma's Marathon will host Fit-n-Fun Run today, which will bring close to 1,500 ISD 709 elementary school students (3rd, 4th, & 5th graders) together for an end-of-the-year celebration at Malosky Stadium.

Participants will have the chance to run 1/4 mile race with their classmates, and each student will be presented at the finish line with a ribbon and commemorative T-shirt.

The first races of each day will start at 9:30 a.m., and the final races of each day are expected to be around 12:00 p.m.
