Healthy Kids Running Series Spring 2026 - Mentor, OH

Get ready to lace up and embrace the joy of running with the Healthy Kids Running Series - your child's gateway to healthy living and spirited competition! Spanning five exhilarating weeks in spring and fall, this dynamic running program is tailor-made for energetic children from Pre-K through 8th grade.

From speedy sprints like the 50 & 75 yard dashes to longer treks including the 1/4 mile, the 1/2 mile, and the 1 mile run, we've got distances to challenge every age group. Our participants not only build stamina and sportsmanship but also accumulate points each week as they dash towards the finish line.

Inclusivity is our game: the Challenger Division shines a spotlight on exceptional athletes with special needs, ensuring every child has their moment on the track. And the best part? Every runner who crosses the finish line is celebrated with a medal in the final week, while trophies await the top athletes across different divisions. So, snap those race-day photos, cheer each other on and join our community - it's time to get up and go! #GetUpandGo
