The Bible Verse Marathon®
The Bible Verse Marathon is a unique, turnkey, and free e-learning Bible program developed by Bible IQ in which:
1) the students/youth are encouraged to learn up to 26 Bible verses in their hearts & minds,
2) is supplemental to what the school, church, or organization is already teaching, and
3) is virtual, exciting, and engaging!
We call this a "BIBLE VERSE MARATHON" because instead of running 26 miles, the students/participants are memorizing 26 Bible verses!

There are 3 simple steps to get your race started:
Step 1: Select the 26 Bible verses you would like for your race. [NOTE: Bible IQ has a pre-packaged Top 26 verses that you can use to simplify the process. Refer to document below.]

The Bible Verse memorization test is "multiple-choice," the results are immediate, and can be taken with cellphones, tablets or laptops. The test is not made available until the agreed-upon testing date & time. Also, the school/church/organization can use any Bible verses and any Bible translation! By way of a suggestion, the group may choose to incorporate a "fitness" element to the fundraising program (e.g., 26 laps around the gym/track, 26 minutes of jump-roping, etc.). Finally, assuming the testing event will be in-person, we suggest the group consider celebrating with a pizza party following the testing completion.
