Healthy Kids Running Series

Fleet Feet Tucson is a proud sponsor of the Healthy Kids Running Series

Founded in 2009 by Jeff Long, a collegiate runner and Founder and President of Pattison Sports Group, the Healthy Kids Running Series (HKRS) is a national, community-based non-profit whose goal is "to motivate kids to lead a healthy and active lifestyle through a positive introduction to the world of running." 

To meet that goal, the HKRS has created a five-week running program designed for kids 2-14. Their fall 2023 series in Tucson begins on Sunday, October 22, and continues until Sunday, November 19. 

Each HKRS series takes place once a week and offers age-appropriate running events including the 50 & 75-yard dashes, the 1/4 mile, the 1/2 mile, and the 1-mile run. The program lays the foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle, builds self-esteem, and provides a fun and inclusive atmosphere. 

Packet pickup for this year's series will take place at our Tanque Verde location (7301 E Tanque Verde Rd, #151) on Saturday, October 21 from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm.
