Event summary

Get ready for an exciting spring filled with fun, fitness, and friendly competition at the Healthy Kids Running Series in Glen Rock, NJ! Kicking off on Sunday, April 26, 2026, and running through May 31, 2026, this vibrant event invites children from Pre-K to 8th grade to participate in a series of age-appropriate running events. Kids will have the chance to sprint in dashes of 50 and 75 yards, as well as tackle longer distances like the 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and 1 mile. Each week brings a new opportunity for young runners to earn points based on their performance, culminating in a celebratory awards ceremony on the final week where all participants will receive a medal!

The Healthy Kids Running Series not only promotes physical activity but also inclusivity with a special Challenger Division, offering an adaptive 75-yard race for children with disabilities. Families are encouraged to join in the fun, cheering on their little athletes as they cross the finish line. With registration covering the entire five-week series—including race bibs, a runner's shirt, and finisher medals—there's no better way to inspire your child’s love for running. Don’t miss out
