This is our second Running on Kindness 5K for Autism Awareness.

Although the event is hosted at Pilla Middle School, all district schools and our community have come together to create this special event to spread awareness and promote acceptance.

All proceeds will be returned to our community and benefit Pilla Project Unity (a club dedicated to creating social interactions among students of all abilities while giving back to the community), Educators 4 Autism (a local nonprofit organization), and Project Lifesaver (providing local children with GPS tracking devices).

The entire race take place on the grounds of Pilla Middle School. The terrain is mostly paved surfaces but also includes grassy and dirt areas in the field behind the school. The course is jogging stroller friendly as long as it can handle the terrain mentioned above.

Register for the 5K by 3/29 and run away with a race tee and finisher medal!

Register for the 1-mile by 3/29 and receive a race tee!

Awards will be given for the 5K to the top 3 Overall Male and Female Finishers as well as the top 3 Students (under 18 years old).

Packet pick-up will take place on race morning starting at 8am.

The race will be held rain or shine.

    The Vineland Youth Running Club (VYRC) is for children in the Greater Vineland Area ages 7-14 interested in recreational and competitive running.

    No experience is necessary, but like any sport, your child must be willing to listen, learn, and commit to putting in the work required to develop the proper skills. The mile is our chosen benchmark for progress and we believe that if a kid can get to the point of being able to run 1 mile consistently and comfortably, they can progress relatively quickly from there in both speed and endurance if they choose to. Starting with the very first day of club and every day after that, your child will run/walk at least a mile (excluding meets).

    Practices will be on Monday and Wednesday nights 5:30-6:30 pm, along with 5 meets in place of practice on Wednesday nights. Information on additional competitive events will be provided as we learn more.

    Spring: April 20-June 10 Fall: September 21-October 28

    Individual Spring/Fall Membership: $75 Full Year Membership: $120
