Hi from Jessie + Alex! I am your community coordinator for our Dover Area races! Between me, Alex, my family + friends, and whatever volunteers I can gather each week we put on our weekly races! Sometimes you will see Alex helping me with warm-ups or tearing bibs for the pre-k kids 😊

I brought HKRS back to our area 2 years ago and Alex has moved from a 50 yard dash to 75 to this season the 1/4 mile. It’s so fun watching all of our kids progress and do their best each week and each season 💚

We start in 4 weeks! Which means you have 1 more week to register before prices go up! Register now before back to school craziness 💙

Another thank you for one of our spring sponsors 💙💚 Dover Police Association has helped us the last couple of seasons, both as a series sponsor AND as snack donor. We are so appreciative for their support!

What our parents are saying:

“First and foremost, our kids love the spirit and the challenge of the series. Everything is a celebration, everyone is there to have fun, there are no hard feelings and they feel successful!”

“[I loved] feeling so proud of my kiddo and seeing all the runners work hard and know that they can do it!”

Providing a positive and encouraging environment for our kids to run and be active is the goal! Some of us love to run fast and others are trying to finish. Everyone is welcome here 💚💙

I love getting parent feedback at the end of the season. The survey feedback was largely positive, which is so great to hear! Constructive criticism is always taken into consideration and changes are made as I am able. Some things (like distances) are mandated by HKRS national.

If anyone would like to help out with volunteering please reach out!

Sign up for fall season to join us for another 5 weeks of fun 🏃
