Healthy Kids Running Fall Series 2025 - Woodbury

Get Up and Go!

September 1, 2025

Get ready to lace up those sneakers and hit the course! The Healthy Kids Running Series - Woodbury (HKRS) is back this fall for a fun-filled, five-week running Series designed for kids from Pre-K through 8th grade—with a special race for high schoolers, too! We cannot wait to see those finish line smiles each week.

Each week, kids will participate in age-appropriate races, including:
οΈπŸƒ‍♀️ 50 & 75-yard  (pre-k ages 2-5) Non-Competitive dashes there will not be trophies for these age groups.
πŸƒ‍♂️ 75-yard dashes (Challenger Division)
πŸƒ‍♀️ ¼ mile, ½ mile, and 1-mile runs (for older age groups)
πŸƒ‍♂️ 2-mile race (for high school students)

Runners will earn points based on their finishing times, and best of all—every participant receives a medal on Week 5! πŸŽ‰  Pre-School runners ages 2-5 will be non-competitive this season concentrating on "Race Fundamentals" and getting better every week.



Sign up for the full five-week series and receive:
βœ”οΈ Race bibs for each week

βœ”οΈ A finisher’s medal
