It’s race day! Make sure your runner has their race bib pinned to the FRONT of their shirt and the bottom is filled out (do not tear off the bottom).
The Healthy Kids Running Series is a non-profit program created to provide kids with a positive, educational, and fun experience in the world of running.
The Healthy Kids Running Series is a five week running program for kids from Pre-K to 8th grade and takes place in the Spring and Fall. To combat the increasing rates of childhood obesity in America, HKRS was designed to motivate kids to be healthy and active and provide a fun environment to improve their self-esteem. Our focus is to have fun and create a "Get Up and Go" attitude!

I wanted to send an update regarding spring registration. Aurora parks is just beginning to process spring event proposals and we are waiting for their approval before we open registration. We are hoping to open registration before the end of the month. I will be sending out an email when we open and post on our page so keep an eye out! We hope you’ll run with us this spring!
