I love seeing their smiles on race day, watching their confidence grow each week, and seeing their love of running develop into a lifelong passion. As a HQ employee, I love hearing the excitement of new coordinators during interviews and watching their programs come to life each season!”

🎓🏃‍♀️ Taking HKRS to the classroom!

Justine and Corrine recently visited the University of Delaware to speak with a Sports Marketing & Hospitality class about Healthy Kids Running Series, the nonprofit industry, sports marketing, and careers in general!

We loved sharing our experience and talking with the next generation about the many ways they can get involved in sports and their communities. 💙💚

Did you know high school and college students can volunteer with HKRS and earn community service hours? As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we offer opportunities to gain experience, give back, and make an impact!
