Healthy Kids Running Series- Greenville, Ohio

Healthy Kids Running Series- Greenville, Ohio Healthy Kids Running Series is a 5 week racing program for kids Pre-K to 8th grade.

We reach out to all of Darke County to encourage young athletes to develop active, healthy lifestyles. Established in 2009, the Healthy Kids Running Series was created by Jeff Long, Founder and President of Pattison Sports Group, to provide kids with a positive, educational, and fun experience in the world of running. To combat the increasing rates of child obesity in America, Jeff designed a running program that would motivate kids to be healthy and active and provide a fun environment to improve their self-esteem. Jeff believed the program would encourage kids to adopt a "Get Up and Go" attitude.

Hello everyone, Elise here!
I have gotten many questions about when the spring season will open up for registration. At this time, I have made the decision to step down from my position as Coordinator of Healthy Kids Greenville. It was not an easy decision, and took many month to decide, so thank you for your patience. I cannot express how much this program has meant to me, I started running it when I was 19 and now I am 23 and married! It has truly been a wondeful experience getting to know all of you and your amazing runners. The community Healthy Kids has built is one that I will always treasure. Thank you for your support, kindness, and encouragement of this program! Because of my stepping down, I do not know what the spring season looks like. But here's what I do know...
We need a knew Coordinator! I am fully willing to help walk alongside whoever comes into this position, you will not be alone! If you are even slightly interested, please message our page for information, I am happy to walk you through what Coordinating the program looks like. Or, if you or someone you
know is interested, please complete the Start a Race form here:
https://healthykidsrunningseries.org/apply-for-community-coordinator/. A team member will
be in touch.
Thank you all again, healthy wishes as always💚💙

Due to the extended nature of our season this fall, we had our porta potties taken last week out of respect for the Masonic Lodge allowing us to keep it there for all of Oct, and because it costs money each week! Please allow time to use a public bathroom beforehand. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Theme: blue and green, healthy kids shirts!

RACE POSTPONED! We will extend our season by one week to next Sunday, 16th! Due to it actually feeling like 26° out with wind chill, and our course being damp from rain, we do not feel comfortable having our young runners outside for an extended period of time. Please check your emails for more details regarding next Sunday.
