Healthy Kids Running Series Returns to Jefferson Hills

The Healthy Kids Running Series, a national organization that inspires kids, ages 2-14, to race towards a healthier lifestyle, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a new logo, new website and three regional destination races, according to its founder Jeff Long.

Healthy Kids Running Series features more than 250 Series across North America, attracting more than 60,000 participants looking to get active and live a healthier lifestyle.

In Jefferson Hills, Healthy Kids Running Series will conduct its spring series at Andrew E. Reilly Memorial Park (885 Park), beginning on March 24. Registration is open at healthykidsrunningseries.org.

“Healthy Kids Running Series is designed to get kids active and lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle,” says Long. “The most rewarding part is seeing young boys and girls and their families gather each week to compete and achieve their goals and celebrate with their friends. We are thrilled to be celebrating our 10th anniversary.”

Healthy Kids Running Series is a national, community-based non-profit that provides a fun, inclusive, five-week running Series for ages 2-14 designed to get kids active, build self-esteem and lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.

Healthy Kids Running Series offers a five-week program every fall and spring with age-appropriate race distances. Kids compete each week for a chance to earn points, and at the end of the Series, the top boy and girl with the most points in their respective age division earn a trophy. All participants receive a finishers medal, race bag and Healthy Kids Running Series tech T-shirt for their achievements.

Healthy Kids Running Series inspires its participants to live an active lifestyle through goal setting and dedication.
