Healthy Kids Running Series-Greenville, Ohio wrapped up their 5 week race series this Sunday in Greenville Park. A free parent mile race and the awards ceremony followed the final race for each age division. HKRS is a five-week, nonprofit youth running program for grades pre-k through 6th grade. The Healthy Kids Running Series was founded in 2009 to combat increasing rates of childhood obesity through the introduction of running. What began in West Chester, PA now operates in upwards of fifty communities across the country, including Greenville. The Healthy Kids Running Series is all about having fun and motivating kids to be active! "Our goal is to provide a fun and positive experience for every participant and see them improve over the five weeks". At the completion of the series each participant receives a medal and trophies are awarded based on total points to the top boy and girl in each age group. All runners registered for the five-week program receive a race-bag and HKRS tech shirt. The series provides participants with a fun learning experience which includes living an active lifestyle, dedication and goal setting. The series will be offered again in the fall, with Registration opening June 15th.
