Healthy Kids Running Series, a national inclusive and fun youth running experience, inspiring kids (ages 2-14) to believe in themselves and lead an active healthy lifestyle, is conducting a safe, five-week in-person Fall running series featuring once-a-week racing at Camp Curiosity in Doylestown with 4 PM start times.
“The community has really embraced Healthy Kids Running Series and our goal of leading children toward healthy and active lifestyle. We had an incredible level of participation in the spring with almost 350 registrations and hosting one of the largest series in the country” said Ryan Wantz, community coordinator of the Doylestown Healthy Kids Running Series.
Healthy Kids Running Series is a five-week program with races on Sundays, that began on August 12 with age-appropriate race distances. Kids compete each week in their designated age or grade level division. Every participant will receive a T-Shirt and Medal. Registration is $40 for the five-week Series and is open now at HealthyKidsRunningSeries.org. Healthy Kids Running Series programming is supported by Stride Rite, Doylestown Health, Camp Curiosity and Bright Eyes Vision.
“We are closely following the guidelines as suggested by the CDC and implementing many new measures to ensure we protect our runners and their families from becoming ill,” said Jeff Long, founder, Healthy Kids Running Series. “We recognize and understand these are challenging times, but we are offering our runners and their families a safe experience while social distancing to teach kids effort, perseverance, persistence, sportsmanship, independence and grit.”
