Our Mission

To engage communities and families by providing an inclusive youth running experience, inspiring kids to believe in themselves and lead an active healthy lifestyle.

Our Vision

An international, inclusive and fun youth running program led by dedicated, local coordinators where all kids celebrate their success and develop an active healthy lifestyle.

Founded in 2009

HKRS was founded in 2009 to provide children with a fun introduction to the sport of running in an environment that builds confidence and self-esteem. We believe our cross-country inspired program will encourage kids to adopt a “Get Up and Go” attitude.

HKRS is a national, community-based non-profit that provides an inclusive five-week running series for ages 2-14, designed for kids to get active, feel accomplished and lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.

Let’s all continue to #GetUpandGo!
