Healthy Kids Running Series in Bennington, VT

Registration is now open for the fall session of Healthy Kids Running Series, a national, community-based nonprofit that provides fun running and competition opportunities for kids.

Coming off a successful summer season in which nearly 50 local kids participated, the program is gearing up for the fall session. Designed for children ages 2 to 14, Healthy Kids aims to inspire children to be active and healthy while creating meaningful relationships within our community.

Held over the course of five weeks, the series involves once-a-week races on Sundays beginning on September 10 through mid-October (note: no race will occur the weekend of Indigenous People’s Day). Participants are grouped with age peers and challenged to run age-appropriate race distances. Runners compete each week for a chance to earn points. At the end of the series on week 5, all participants receive a medal, plus the boys and girls who accumulate the most points in their respective distances are awarded trophies.

The first weekly session of Healthy Kids will be Sunday, September 10 at 2 p.m. at Mount Anthony Union High School at 130 Park Street, Bennington VT. 

Early bird registration for the Healthy Kids Running Series is currently live at this link. Registrations received prior to August 20 will be discounted to $40; registrations received after August 20 will be $45.
