The Healthy Kids Running Series in Virginia Beach runs for five weeks each spring, with a second series in the fall. It is designed for children in Pre-K through 8th grade. Each weekly event offers a distance appropriate for the runner's age group, rather than a single distance for all.
The race distances include 50 yards, 75 yards, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and 1 mile. Children accumulate points weekly, and the top boy and girl in each age division are awarded trophies. All participants receive a medal and a gift bag from sponsors.
