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.

Pricing: The registration fee covers the entire five (5) weeks of the Series which includes race bibs for each week, a runner shirt, a finisher medal and any sponsor giveaways. Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable. Online Early Bird registration increases three weeks prior to the first race event.

High School: We also welcome our High School runners! Our high school students will be running a 2 mile race.

Challenger: This Series offers a Challenger Division which is an adaptive 75 yard race for children with disabilities and/or special needs. This allows for parents, siblings, and friends to be on the course with runners to provide support as well as bringing their own supportive devices such as crutches, braces, wheelchairs, etc. to be used by runners.

Single Day Racing: Single day race registration opens one hour prior to the start of each race. The registration fee covers one single race to be run on the day of registration. ALL single day registrations should be completed onsite at the race location. Single day racers will have the option to upgrade to the full series (see tab on the left side of the page for instructions). There is a strict no-refund and no-transfer policy.

Awards: All participants receive a medal on Week 5! Trophies will be awarded to the overall top finishers in each of the divisions listed below (broken out by boys and girls respectively):

Kindergarten & 1st Grade

2nd & 3rd Grade

4th & 5th Grade

6th to 8th Grade

    Hi! My name is Ava and my friends and I are excited to be holding the 9th annual Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk this year. When I was in first grade (2016) I started a lemonade stand at our community garage sale to raise money for “sick kids”. My parents and I found Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and knew it was a great fit for our mission. This organization helps to fund grants for research, raise awareness, and support families with a mission to help find the cure for childhood cancer.

    My friends and siblings joined me on this mission and since 2016 we have held 8 lemonade stands and are excited to be holding our 9th Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk this year. We have raised a total of $92,273, which has all been donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation on behalf of this event! We couldn’t have done this without the support of our local businesses (sponsors) and community members (YOU)! We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you again this year to help us reach our goal of $10,000 to be raised this year.

    This year we will again be holding a hybrid event. You can choose between an in-person or virtual event. The in-person event will take place at Hilliard Station Sixth Grade School on July 18, 2026; while the virtual event will be held wherever you choose.

    *Virtual event registrations will have their packets dropped off (if local in Columbus, Ohio) or mailed to their home address (if not local). All in-person registrations will receive their packets at the pre-race or race day packet pickup. In person registrations do not include shipping of packets.

    All proceeds from the race will again be donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Please support us and our mission to help support pediatric cancer research!

    Join us for the 3rd Annual Christmas in July 5K, now an evening run, along with a 1 Miler and Kids Run. A fun, festive event benefiting Worthington Connects, a nonprofit dedicated to providing year round support to Worthington students and families facing financial hardship.

    This family-friendly event is more than just a race, it’s a celebration of community. Runners, walkers, and spectators can enjoy a lively Christmas in July atmosphere, featuring local business sponsors with vendor tables, delicious food trucks, and plenty of holiday cheer in the summer evening.

    Proceeds from registration and fundraising efforts directly support Worthington Connects, helping provide essential resources to families not only during the holidays, but throughout the entire year.

    Whether you’re tackling the 5K, joining the 1 Miler, cheering on your little runners, or supporting from the sidelines, your participation helps bring hope, joy, and meaningful support to those who need it most. Be sure to stick around after the race to explore sponsor booths, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the festivities.

    Participants will have the chance to win prizes generously donated by local businesses, adding even more excitement to the evening.

    Let’s come together as a community to support Worthington families. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
