Healthy Kids Running Series

Hkrs is a national, inclusive and fun youth Running program led by dedicated, local coordinators, where all Kids celebrate their success and develop an active Healthy lifestyle. Its a community-based, fiveweek Running Series selfesteem for ages 2-14 designed for children to get active, build selfesteem and lay the foundation for a Healthy lifestyle.

HKRS raises funds to offer programing in underserved communities, as well as registration assistance for families with financial need. The fund's goal is to ensure that every child who wants to run with HKRS is able to do so and there are no economic barriers to participation. HKRS is also committed to bringing its programming to communities that have historically had limited access to healthy activities for children including low-income, urban areas. HKRS is committed to offering an inclusive program, including race opportunities for children with special needs and/ or disabilities who are often excluded from traditional youth sports. HKRS has formed strategic partnerships with organizations such as the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to support programming in underserved communities. In 2023 HKRS had six locations in its underserved community program: Norristown, PA; Chester, PA; Camden, NJ; San Juan, PR; West Oak Lane, PA; and West Philadelphia, PA
