Final Results & Week 5 info
Week 5 is our final week!

Due to an oversite in planning for the upcoming Daylight Savings time that will turn the clocks back at 2:00am on 11/1 we will need to move up the start time for the races on 11/1 from 5:00 pm to 4:00pm to be in compliance with the County Park permit and safety policies.

We understand that this last minute change in conjunction with Daylight Savings time may create some confusion as well as impact some families ability to attend the races on time and that this 11/1 rain date was not advertised when registration was opened for the race series. To that end we are going to conclude the scoring of the series with last weeks races so the results currently posted are the final results based on 4 weeks of racing.

Running will still be available this Sunday at 4:00pm as a fun run, no points or places will be recorded. We will distribute medals as we normally would as finishers exit the chute. We will conclude the day as we normally would with our trophy presentation based on 4 weeks of racing. Due to concerns with daylight we will not have a parents Mile on Sunday.

Trophies will be distributed as follows based on points accumulated over the 4 weeks:

Girls 50 yard dash: Top 3
Boys 50 yard dash: Top 3
Girls 75 yard dash: Top 3
Boys 75 yard dash: Top 3
Girls 1/4 mile run: Top 3
Boys 1/4 mile run: Top 3
Girls 1/2 mile run: Top 3
Boys 1/2 mile run: Top 3
Girls 4-5th Grade 1 Mile: Top 3
Boys 4-5th Grade 1 Mile: Top 3
Girls 6-8th Grade 1 Mile: Top 3
Boys 6-8th Grade 1 Mile: Top 3

Final standings can be found here.

Race Day is tomorrow HKRS Springfield Families!

We are excited to kick off our Spring Series at Smedley Park!

Smedley Park is located at 20 Papermill Rd., Springfield, PA just off Baltimore Pike near the Blue Route/ I-476.

The field we are racing on is the field that is closest to Baltimore Pike. There are two parking lots, the first parking lot is on your left as you enter the park. The second is next to the Penn State Extension. Make a Left BEFORE you get to the Trolley tracks and follow the road up to the parking lot. There is a gravel road/ path to walk down to the field. If you cross over the trolley tracks you went too far.

We are thrilled to have you be a part of our healthy family, we hope that your family is as excited for the season to start as we are! To ensure the health and safety of our participants we will be implementing race day guidelines.
A few reminders for race day.....

1) We are encouraging all families to register online prior to arrival, if possible. If you did not attend bib & t-shirt pick up please arrive by 4:30 pm.

2) We do run in the rain, but if there is a safety concern we will be cancelling or postponing the race. If you signed up for the text alert feature within the registration process, you will receive a notification when we cancel. Please note that race cancellation decisions will be made by 1:30PM on race day - notification will be sent by email, Run Signup text alert and posted to the HKRS Springfield, PA page.

3) Please ensure that your children come with their race numbers pinned on the front of their shirt if you are pinning them at home. Be sure that the bottom of their race bib is complete with their name, age, grade, race and gender. This is very important for accurate race results. Please do not tear this off. We will tear it off when your child crosses the finish line at the completion of their race. We will have EXTRA pins on-site. If you happen to forget your race bib or pins please come to the registration table, race numbers are not assigned to runners.

4) As much as we love our four-legged furry friends and as well behaved as they may be, some of the children are afraid and we ask that you not bring them with you on race day. Thank you!

5) Results link will be sent out after the races are over. Medals go to all finishers after Week #5 and is based on a points system that can be found here.

6) We kindly ask that you review our Code of Conduct with your children, family members, friends and other spectators you will bring with you prior to arrival. We want the event to be FUN and SAFE for all! We will read the Code of Conduct with the children and all spectators at each of the starting lines as well. We do ask that parents and guardians cheer all of our runners on throughout the race. We do want this to be a positive and encouraging atmosphere for our participants. Running alongside the participants will not be permitted or tolerated.

Races will start promptly as follows:

50 yard dash Girls & Boys: 5:00-5:05
