About the Healthy Kids Running Series Fall 2026 - Shorewood, IL
Healthy Kids Running Series is a multi-week fall program for kids from pre-K through middle school. Each week, children run distances suited to their age group, earning points toward a series standing. There is also a Challenger Division that welcomes children with disabilities, with family and friends allowed on the course to help.
Single-day registration opens on-site shortly before each race, so drop-ins are welcome, though full-series enrollment is the way to get into the overall standings. The program runs on a mix of weekend days, so it is worth checking the schedule before each week.
