HKRS was founded in 2009 to provide children with a fun introduction to the sport of running in an environment that builds confidence and self-esteem. We believe our cross-country inspired program will encourage kids to adopt a “Get Up and Go” attitude. HKRS is a national, community-based non-profit that provides an inclusive five-week running series for ages 2-Highschool, designed for kids to get active, feel accomplished and lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. We are now welcoming our High School runners beginning Spring 2024! Our high school students will be running a 2 mile race. Challenger: We offer a Challenger Division which is an adaptive 75 yard race for children with disabilities and/or special needs. This allows for parents, siblings, and friends to be on the course with runners to provide support as well as supportive devices such as crutches, braces, wheelchairs, etc. to be used by runners. All Challenger runners will get a trophy on Week 5 in addition to their medal!!
