Welcome to the 32nd Annual Reading Marathon
PBS KIDS Utah is excited to host our annual Reading Marathon and Adventure Pass program once again, celebrating 32 years of encouraging Utah children to read. Challenge your kids, preschool through sixth grade, to read 20 minutes each day during the month of November. There is no need to register before beginning the Reading Marathon. Simply, download your reading log (available on this page) and keep track of your reading minutes each day. Then, return to this page between December 1-31 and input your minutes to receive your Adventure Pass.
