APEX BENEFITS EXTENDS TITLE SPONSORSHIP OF THE APEX BENEFITS MONUMENTAL KIDS MOVEMENT THROUGH 2026
SHARED PASSION FOR STUDENT WELLNESS, HEALTHY LIVING CREATES IDEAL PARTNERSHIP
INDIANAPOLIS – Apex Benefits announced it has extended its title sponsorship of Beyond Monumental’s youth program centered around running, the Apex Benefits Monumental Kids Movement (MKM) and the Apex Benefits Monumental Kids 5K for the next 3 years.
The Apex Benefits MKM is a bi-weekly school-based running club powered by a health and wellness curriculum that educates youth about the benefits of exercise, proper diet and healthy living. The program lasts between seven and nine weeks, culminating with students running the Indy Half Marathon at Fort Ben 5K or the Apex Benefits Monumental Kids 5K.
“The Apex Benefits Monumental Kids Movement and its impact on our community continues to be a primary focus of our organization,” said Jed Cornforth, Executive Director of Beyond Monumental. “Last year, the inaugural Apex Benefits Monumental Kids 5K was such a great success in celebrating our local schools and the students who participate; and we can’t wait to welcome back students, parents, and sponsors for the second annual event later this month.”
In 2022, over 1,500 students participated in a MKM 5K from 4 Indianapolis school districts – Indianapolis Public Schools, Lawrence Township Schools, Perry Township Schools and MSD of Pike. The Apex Benefits MKM program has seen over 10,000 graduates to date.
