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

High School

Challenger

    1 Day for the K.I.A. 12 Hour Endurance Run

    April 18, 2026 10am-10pm

    'To support the children and siblings of those who have been killed in action, missing in action, listed as prisoner of war, or deemed 100% disabled due to their service by assisting in the child's education through the Living Legacy Scholarship.

    REGISTRATION COST GOES TO THE ORGANIZATION SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO HOST RACES. ALL DONATIONS BEYOND REGISTRATION COST GO DIRECTLY TO THE LIVING LEGACY SCHOLARSHIP - THE MOST TANGIBLE AND ICONIC MANIFESTATION OF OUR MISSION.'

    Runners have exactly 12 hours to cover as many miles as they can. They are allowed to sleep, eat, leave and come back, and even flat out stop running whenever they want to - whatever they want to do get the furthest mileage possible. Due to the rules and structure of this type of run, it simply tests one thing: How far can you push yourself?

    We also have a 10K option for those who still want to support us outside of the 12 Hour Endurance Run!

    Location: The Ohio State University Oval

    Registration Options: 12-Hour Solo- $60 12-Hour Solo Virtual- $60

    10k Race- $30 12-Hour 2 Person Team- $110

    12-Hour 3 Person Team- $150 12-Hour 4 Person Team- $200

    12-Hour 5 Person Team- $240 12-Hour 6 Person Team- $270

    12-Hour Sponsored Solo 12- Hour Sponsored Team

    • The 10K is In-Person or Virtual. You will receive a t-shirt! The 1DK trophy is exclusively for the 12 Hour Endurance Runners. The 10K will start at 8am with the Ultra Marathon! *
    • Registration includes a race packet with a race t-shirt, race bib, medal and more!

    Sponsored Runners: One of our premier fundraising methods is our Sponsored Runners. Before the run, these runners will secure "sponsorships" from friends, family, and anyone who may want to contribute to the cause. By "sponsoring" a runner, these donors are agreeing to donate a specified amount per mile that their runner covers in the 12 hours. With this setup, each literal step forward made by our Sponsored Runners is symbolic of the pain they are willing to endure and their desire to bring positive change upon our deserving families through the Living Legacy Scholarship.

    If you register as a sponsored runner or team, you will need to become a fundraiser when you go through the registration process

    Fundraising: Thanks to the generous contributions of others and the all-volunteer aspect of our team members, 100% of the profits raised through:

    • Sponsored Runner Sponsorships

    • Corporate Sponsorships

    • Day of Race Donations

    • Scholarship Specific Donations

    go toward our Living Legacy Scholarship endowment fund. Race registration fees are traditionally attributed to race and organization operational funds.
