Healthy Kids Running Series is a nonprofit organization that operates a youth running program focused on health, activity, and building self-esteem. The program runs for five weeks in the spring and fall for children from Pre-K to 8th grade, offering age-appropriate events that range from short sprints to a mile. All participants receive a medal and gift bag, while the top performers in each age division receive trophies, highlighting participation and achievement for every child. The organization is based in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and operates with support from sponsors. By serving families and schools seeking a structured, accessible pathway to running, HKRS positions itself as a community-based nonprofit in the youth fitness space, promoting healthy and active lifestyles and social connections among children. In 2023, the organization announced the appointment of Dawn Epstein as Executive Director.
