🏃‍♀️💚 WEEK 5 - THAT’S A WRAP ON AN AMAZING SEASON! 💚🏅

What a way to finish our Healthy Kids Running Series season! ☀️ The sunshine was shining, the runners were ready, and the energy was EVERYTHING! From the warm-ups and finish-line sprints to the medals, trophies, raffles, and proud smiles, it was the perfect celebration of a season full of hard work, growth, and FUN!

One of our favorite moments? Watching our parents lace up and join the kids for a mile! Because we don’t just teach kids to run — we show them that an active, healthy lifestyle is something we can celebrate together. 💚

To every runner who showed up, tried their best, pushed through, and crossed that finish line — YOU are what this series is all about! 🏅

A HUGE THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors for helping make this season possible! Your generosity and support allow us to create these experiences, celebrate our young athletes, and build a community that puts kids’ health and happiness first. We are so grateful for you! 💚

And to our amazing families, high school volunteers, and everyone who cheered, encouraged, and helped along the way — THANK YOU for being part of this running series!

Until next season, keep moving, keep smiling, and keep shining! 🌟

HKRS - Week 3 🌧️🌂

It was a rainy wet day, but we had a pocket that seemed to clear a little for us to get our run in today. Thank you to all of you that made it out, almost 70% of our runners came out to the course!

The kids had a blast splashing in the puddles ☔️and had great runs today, most were happy to follow the cold, wet race with a sweet, icy 🍧 treat from Kona Ice!

Lombard Junior Women's Club was so nice to donate a well earned post race snack for all the runners.

Thank you to all of our sponsors for supporting our series. The weather hasn’t cooperated quite yet but we hope to see more out here this season! Please remember them when you are seeking their services, whether it is travel, dental, roofing, pizza, music, shopping and anything in between. They really do help make our series what it is.

⏰ Huge shout out to the local highschool students, they showed up and helped out so much today. We really appreciate their support and kindness!

Enjoy a quick video of the race today!

See you next week for Week 3.
