We’re proud to announce that this spring HKRS will be returning to in person racing in Hampden!
Founded in 2009 by Jeff Long, Founder and President of Pattison Sports Group to combat the increasing rates of childhood obesity in America. The running program provides a fun environment and builds self-esteem. Jeff believed the program would encourage kids to adopt a “Get Up and Go” attitude.
HKRS is a national, community-based non-profit that provides a fun, inclusive five-week running series for ages 2-14, designed for kids to get active, feel accomplished and lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. It’s their mission to engage community businesses, families and children by providing an inclusive youth running experience, inspiring kids to believe in themselves and lead an active healthy lifestyle, as well as a vision to offer a community program where all kids celebrate their success and develop an active healthy lifestyle.
They offer a five-week youth running series for ages 2-14, designed specifically with a cross country mindset to provide a positive and fun introduction to running. The program is set to take place Sundays, beginning May 2nd, 2021 at 4p.m. at Green Meadows School in Hampden. To learn more or register click here.
