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.

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.

    Note for 5k Course: Known among DCA athletes as “the loop,” the scenic, single-lap 5K course begins at the playground on the school’s main campus on Page

    Road. The course begins mostly flat and runs south down Page Road, turns east (left) on Craig Road, north (left) on Route 137, west

    (left) on Windmill Hill Road where the elevation gradually rises, and finally, south (left) on Page Road up Alsi’s Hill, west (right) on

    the dirt loop beyond the playground, north (left) back on to Page Road, and ends back at DCA’s playground. This gently rolling, open-road course has a mix of paved road and gravel.

    Note for our Fun Run: We have a beautiful quarter-mile fun run begins at the DCA playground and follows the dirt drive past the shop, then turns south (right) onto

    the dirt drive that leads to the field cottage with a view of Mount Monadnock on the right. The course continues east (left) up Carriage

    Path (grass path between the stone walls) and then turns north (left) at the gate onto Page Road, ending back at the playground
