The Healthy Kids Running Series returns to Otsiningo Park in Binghamton this September! This 5-week running program for kids in Pre-K through 8th grade, allows kids to compete weekly in age-appropriate races, including 50- and 75-yard dashes, a quarter-mile, a half-mile, and a mile. At the end of the series, all participants receive a medal and the runners who accumulate the most points in their respective distances are awarded trophies.
The program also offers a Challenger Division for kids with disabilities and/or special needs. This division includes a 75-yard race, and parents, siblings, and friends are allowed to be on the course to provide support. Runners in the Challenger Division can use supportive devices such as crutches, braces, and wheelchairs.
