Healthy Kids Running Series Spring 2026 - La Grange/Countryside, IL

The Healthy Kids Running Series Spring in La Grange/Countryside, IL offers a five-week running program for children in the La Grange and Countryside area, with weekly races during the spring. It is designed for children from Pre-K through 8th grade, with race distances tailored to age groups. The youngest participants can compete in 50- and 75-yard dashes. Older children have the option of the quarter mile, half mile, or mile races. Each child accumulates points based on their finishing place in completed races. A full-series entry provides weekly bibs, a runner shirt, a finisher medal, and sponsor giveaways. The series also features a Challenger Division: an adaptive 75-yard race for children with disabilities or special needs. Parents, siblings, and friends can join participants on the course, and runners may use adaptive equipment like crutches, braces, or wheelchairs. Single-day registration is possible before a race, space permitting.
