Spring 2024 Healthy Kids Running Series in Cypress Now Accepting Registrations
Registration for the Healthy Kids Running Series in Cypress, a popular event aimed at encouraging kids to develop healthy, active lifestyles, is now open. Kicking off the spring season on March 3, this five-week running program is open to children from Pre-K through to 8th grade and includes a variety of age-appropriate races such as dashes, quarter-mile, half-mile, and one-mile runs.
Founded in 2009, The Healthy Kids Running Series was built on a vision to motivate children to embrace an active lifestyle through positive exposure to running. Known for its fun and confidence-building atmosphere, it offers kids a supportive space to learn and enjoy running.
Registration for this series provides participants access to all five-week events and includes race bibs, a runner shirt, a finisher medal, and sponsor giveaways. Early Bird registration can be done online for $45.00, with the cost increasing to $50.00 three weeks before the first race.
For kids who decide to take part in just one race day, registration opens one hour before each race starts and costs $20. This fee covers a race bib and a runner shirt, subject to availability. However, shirt sizing and availability are not guaranteed for single-day racers. Single-day registrations must be completed on-site at the race location.
All participants will receive a medal on week five, and trophies will be awarded to the top finishers in each division, which are categorized by grade levels. The series will be held at the D. Bradley McWilliams YMCA at Cypress Creek, located at 19915 TX-249, Houston, TX 77070.
Once registered, families can take advantage of the Healthy Kids Running Series referral program. Sharing the unique referral link with friends and family can prove beneficial; if three friends sign up using your referral link, you get a $10 refund. If five friends sign up, you'll be rewarded with exclusive HKRS Swag.
Healthy Kids Running Series welcomes volunteers to help with the races. This is a great opportunity for high school and college students to earn service hours or receive letters of reference. Interested parties can sign up on the Healthy Kids Running Series website. To learn more, email cypresstx@healthykidsrs.org.
