We had perfect weather for the "mini" jog-a-thon. Set up was quick and we had a couple parents who offered their help. Since the ground was still wet, the kids ran around a little loop at the playground.
But the best part? Almost every other class (because they were outside for recess) got to see us set up for the "mini" jog-a-thon which made kids talk all the more about it.
We had balloons, racing bibs, 5 - "silly" (wild) bandz per child per lap (but most kids did more than 5 laps!), water cups which the kids got to throw on the ground just like a real race, balloons, orange slices, wet wipes for sticky fingers, red masking tape, music, orange gatorade jug, table, trash can and cones.
Thoughts after the fact...
I really really really wish I had ribbons or medals to give to the kids.
Make sure to remind kids to wear school colors.

A balloon arch is difficult to do outside with a little wind.
