The capoeira marathon is a super-fun athletic event in which players are challenged to perform selected capoeira movements within designated time periods. This is a multi-generational event. All players will receive special commemorative medals for participating!

The course has a total of four stations for youth and five stations for adults. For example, the four stations each represent a sequence of capoeira movements such as kick with floor movements, or AU, Macaco (acrobatics movements). Players will start at the first station and will be given a determined time to perform the designated movement as many times as they can. Our volunteer judges will tabulate results. Each age group will have to perform as many movements as possible in 1 minute. After a short break, the players will move to the next station and will be given the same amount of time to perform the next designated movement as many times as they can. This continues through stations 3 and 4 for Toddlers/Pre-K and Youth. Teen/Adult players will have a 5th station, where the activity will be to play capoeira for as long as possible without a break. Each second played will be worth a few cents.

This is our BIGGEST AND most IMPORTANT fundraiser of the year. Our goal is to raise $2000 toward our Graduation Ceremony. Our goal is to raise $2000 toward our Graduation Ceremony.
