Healthy Kids Running Series: Bala Cynwyd

Healthy Kids Running Series: Bala Cynwyd The Healthy Kids Running Series--Bala Cynwyd is a non-profit program created to provide kids with a positive and fun experience in the world of running.

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. Je

ff believed the program would encourage kids to adopt a “Get Up and Go” attitude. Rob and Julie Brothers became Community Coordinators in Spring 2016 after realizing there was not a Running Series serving the Main Line. With 2 young children, Rob and Julie wanted to expose not only their children but all of the young kids in the community to the positive benefits of running and having fun doing it. The Healthy Kids Running Series is a five week running program in the spring and fall for kids from Pre-K to 8th grade. Each Race Series takes place once a week and offers age appropriate running events including the 50 yard dash, the 1/4 mile, the 1/2 mile and the one mile run. Kids compete each week of the Series for a chance to earn points and at the end of the Series the top boy and girl with the most points in their respective age division receive a trophy. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you run because all participants receive a medal and gift bag for their achievements courtesy of our sponsors! Join us as we encourage kids to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle, help increase their self-esteem, and make new friends!
