Who We Are: Healthy Kids Running Series is a five (5) week running program in the spring and fall for kids Pre-K through 8th grade. 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. Kids will earn points for each race they complete based on their finish.

The Bulldog Color Run at Green Middle School is a high‑energy, family‑friendly celebration of school spirit, fitness, and fun. Students, families, staff, and community members come together for a vibrant run (or walk!) through a course filled with bursts of bright, eco‑friendly color powder. Whether participants sprint, jog, or stroll, everyone crosses the finish line covered in color and full of Bulldog pride. This event isn’t about speed—it’s about community, movement, and memorable moments. Along the route, volunteers cheer runners on while color stations add excitement at every turn.

The Bulldog Color Run supports Green Middle School PTSA programs and encourages students to stay active while having a blast with friends and family.

Every participant will receive a shirt, medal, bag, sunglasses, bandana and individual color packet to start off the race with a burst of color!

Stop by after your run to check out our vendor tables and food trucks!
