The Reading Marathon has officially come to an end! Reading minute submissions have now closed. If you missed this year's Reading Marathon please come back to this page in late-October 2025 for instructions on how to join the next one.

Continue reading below if your child completed the Reading Marathon and received their Adventure Pass!

Congratulations! You PAWS’d to READ with PBS Utah!  

All participants who have submitted minutes, you have received an email for each individual pass. You must  download, save, and print each pass. Bookmark this email and keep a copy of the pass for your records. Keep the Adventure Pass together and bring them with you when adventuring. 

Please note: because of the volume of Adventure Pass recipients, we will not be able to maintain and distribute Adventure Passes after they are initially delivered.

How the Adventure Pass Works

• The Adventure Pass includes tickets and coupons to your favorite museums, zoos, and activities around town.*
• The Adventure Pass is valid for 2025. Each coupon is valid for specific months based on the location.  
• To earn a 2025 Adventure Pass, each child must read (or be read to) for 600 minutes in the November 2024 PBS Utah Reading Marathon. Adventure Passes are valid for children between preschool – 6th grade.
• Adults and other family members who do not have an Adventure Pass will pay regular admission prices unless otherwise noted.
• The Adventure Pass can only be used one time at each location unless otherwise noted.
