At Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School (KGMS), we know that education has the power to transform lives. For over 50 years, we’ve provided an inclusive and supportive environment for K-12 students with learning differences like autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and anxiety. At KGMS, we celebrate individuality, nurture talents, and empower every student to reach their full potential.
For our community, this event is more than a marathon—it’s a chance to champion the mission and values that KGMS holds dear. Our diverse team is participating in the 8k, half marathon, and full marathon, coming together to advocate for children with learning differences and raise vital resources to support their journeys.

As we lace up our running shoes, we’re running for more than just fitness. We’re running for the future of every child who walks through the doors of KGMS. We’re running to break down barriers, create opportunities, and shine a spotlight on the incredible potential within each of our students.
But don’t just take our word for it. Watch our graduates’ inspiring testimonials to see the transformative impact KGMS has on the lives of our students. These incredible learners have embraced their differences, overcome challenges, and emerged as confident, capable leaders ready to take on the world.
