Healthy Kids Running Series – New Cumberland Spring 2018 Series

Healthy Kids Running Series (“HKRS”) is excited for its 8th season at Roof Park, New Cumberland. Last season, HKRS New Cumberland hosted over 200 runners, and already has over 50 registered for this season. 

HKRS is a five-week, nonprofit youth running program created by Jeff Long, Founder and President of HKRS. The program is designed to combat childhood obesity while providing children with a positive, educational and fun introduction in the world of running. The divisions and race distances are as follows:

“The Healthy Kids Running Series is all about having fun and motivating kids to be active! Our goal is to provide a fun and positive experience for every participant and see them improve over the five weeks. The support and growth of our Series has confirmed our value and mission.” said Jeff Long, Founder and President. Healthy Kids Running Series was founded in 2009. What began in West Chester, PA now operates in more than 100 communities across the country.

At the completion of the series each participant receives a medal and trophies will be awarded based on total points to the top boy and girl in each age group. All runners registered for the five-week program will receive a race-bag and HKRS tech shirt. The series provides participants with a fun learning experience which includes living an active lifestyle, dedication and goal setting.

The cost of the program is $35 for the 5-week series, including a t-shirt, or $10 for an individual race. Registration can be completed online, or by a paper registration form, which can be downloaded from the website, or completed on-site on a race day. Registration remains open the entire season.

The final race day, on May 6th, there is a free Parent’s 1-mile run.
