An extra pair of shoes 👟

A change of clothes 👕

Warm layers 🧥

An umbrella ☂️ (just in case!)

Don't forget, today's theme is Pajama Day! It seems like a good day for some fuzzy, warm flannel.

Hello Roxborough families! 🎉

My name is Anna, and I’m so excited to introduce myself as the returning Community Co-Coordinator for HKRS Roxborough! I am so excited to see so many returning families and especially psyched to watch younger siblings age into the series this season!! 🥹

Fun fact: growing up, running felt torturous to me 😅, but ever since getting involved with HKRS and watching all the kids try so hard, do their best, and light up when they cross the finish line, it completely changed my perspective. Seeing the pride on their faces in that moment is the best part, and it made me want to model that for my own kids too, so funny enough, HKRS is what made me love running as well! 😄

Hello, Roxborough families!!

My Name is Morgan, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new Co-Coordinator for HKRS Roxborough this spring!

My family enjoys HKRS so much that I wanted to be a part of keeping it running. 🏃🏻‍♀️ Every year, I love watching kids tackle the next distance and gain new confidence. I can’t wait to see all of the runners challenge themselves in new ways this spring!

Fun fact: My favorite HKRS memory is the day we could only convince our son to run by putting his Mario hat on his head, handing him a toy steering wheel, and telling him to imagine it was real life Mario Kart. I recognized that feeling - running always felt daunting to me until I started doing silly things to make it fun. Now, it's my whole motivation! 😂 I love showing my kids that something can be hard and fun at the same time. 💪🏻🎉

We have over 💯 registered runners! Are you one of them? There’s still plenty of time to register! See the QR code above, or link in our bio.

What an amazing community we’re building together. 🩵💚 Thank you!!!

Growth looks different for every child. Hikeabilities and HKRS know that every step should be celebrated! 🧡🌱💙

Celebrating growth means focusing on progress, not performance - whether that’s trying a new distance or showing up every week with enthusiasm! It’s about creating joyful, supportive experiences where kids feel proud of what their bodies can do, build resilience at their own pace, and associate movement with fun and self-discovery.

Confidence grows with encouragement. 💛

On the trail or at the starting line, a little support can make a big difference. When kids are encouraged to try, explore, and keep going, confidence follows.

Together, HKRS and Hikeabilities are creating spaces where kids of all abilities are supported, celebrated, and encouraged every step of the way.
