Healthy Kids Running Series Spring 2026 - Lehighton, PA

The Healthy Kids Running Series Spring in Lehighton, PA, offers a five-week youth running program for children in Pre-K through 8th grade. Operated by a nonprofit, the program features short, age-appropriate races, ensuring distinct challenges for younger children and middle-school runners. The core objective is to provide children with a consistent opportunity to run, engage in light competition, complete races, and develop confidence within a secure environment. Weekly, participants compete against peers in their age group, accumulating points based on their finishing position. The series relies on family involvement, local volunteers, and sponsors, prioritizing effort, goal-setting, and good sportsmanship over solely focusing on victory. All runners are awarded a medal upon completion of the series, recognizing both their commitment and their achievements.
