💚 Meet the Challenger Division! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

The Healthy Kids Running Series Challenger Division is an adaptive race designed for children with disabilities and/or special needs. The standard distance is 75 yards, but we can work with families to find a distance that best meets each runner’s needs. 🌟

Parents, siblings, and friends can join runners on the course for support, and runners are welcome to use supportive devices such as wheelchairs, crutches, or braces.

Every child deserves the opportunity to cross the finish line, feel supported, and celebrate their accomplishment! 🎉💙

Interested in the Challenger Division? Reach out to your local Community Coordinator to learn more!

🏃‍♀️ Coordinator Spotlight: HKRS Chehalis, WA!

Meet Sarah, who is heading into her third season as the Healthy Kids Running Series Coordinator in Chehalis, WA! 👟🎉

Her journey with HKRS started with her son, Deacon, who loved racing so much that the family drove 1.5 hours each way to participate. Rather than let him give up something he loved, they brought HKRS closer to home and now she gets to inspire kids throughout her community to do hard things, keep pushing, and never give up! 💪

Her favorite part of race day? Watching families come together to cheer on every runner. 🥰

From race passports and running-themed stories to celebrating the last-place finisher and hosting a volunteer dinner after each race, she goes above and beyond to make every season special.

We’re so grateful for Coordinators like her who make HKRS about so much more than running. 💚💙

Thank you for inspiring your community, Sarah! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
