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.

Organization:

This year the Rotary Club of Canal Fulton is celebrating its 99th year of living out the motto of "Service Above Self". It is during seasons of difficulty and uncertainty that civic clubs like Rotary are essential to come alongside those in need of a helping hand. To help support those in need as well as other community programs, we will again host our major fundraising event the Mother of All Races, a 5K and 10K race to be held on May 10, 2024, the Saturday before Mother's Day.

Over 90 percent of our Rotary's funding is distributed each year to those individuals in need, throughout our community.

Our primary source of revenue for these and other programs stems from the Mother of All Races 5k and 10k race. Donations can also be given donation link above, donations can also be made through the registration process.
