With a year of experience under their belts, the Kilometer’s 4 Kiddos team was determined to come out swinging in year two and come out swinging they did!

2022 Team Highlights

Record Setting…Again

In year one, the team had a goal of $10,000 and they destroyed it. With a year of experience under their belts, in year 2, the Kilometer’s 4 Kiddos team kept aiming for the moon and surpassed expectations yet again.

If year one of Kilometers 4 Kiddos was an introduction, year 2 was about cementing they were here to stay and the community responded! In a year where everyone was dealing with the changing financial world, the team still managed to continue to break records, raising an incredible amount of money. Can they keep this up?

2nd Kickoff – Stepping Up the Game

With a year under their belt, Kilometers 4 Kiddos knew they had to make a statement with the kickoff of the marathon. The goal had changed. Number of riders had increased. And the length of the marathon had grown.

But there was something that had changed. They were a team with a history now and a clear goal. They had a year’s worth of experience to pull from and this year’s introduction made sure to drive that home with the stream after following suit!

Truly Unique

With a multi-national teams comes a truly international reach and that was clearly shown in the numbers. Nearly 250 people made donations to the cause!

Worldwide

If year one was international, year two expanded on that, bringing in more team members and four new countries being represented. Can we keep up the trend?

147 Hours

With the first year being such a success, the team decided to go even bigger for the second year by nearly doubling the length of the marathon. More blocks. More riders. More chaos!

$31,482.05

For this just being the second marathon, the numbers didn’t show it. The team raised nearly $10,000 more than the first year! That’s over a 35% increase in donations!

797 Total Donations

If in the first year, the community came out in force to show their support for a new team. In the second year, they came out to confirm that they were here to back them for years to come with an ever growing number of donations!

$44 Avg. Donation Amount

Not only did the team bring in a massive number of donations in their first year, the donations themselves were massive on average! To say the team came out swinging to make a name for themselves would be an understatement!

From the Top

This year, Kilometers 4 Kiddos was recognized by the platform they host the marathon on, Twitch. Twitch stopped by to donate not only once, but twice in the name of charity.

Voices of Support

As the team grew, so did the support from the community for these riders turning them inside out for charity! Nearly 500 donations came with words of support for the team and their mission.

Many Riders, Many Highlights

With 35 unique Zwift streamers from around the world on the team, it’s not surprising that each streamer brought their own flavor to the table. Don’t believe us? Below is a little taste of 2022’s marathon. With the group continuing to grow in size and diversity, you can imagine it’s only going to be more chaotic fun in the year to come.
