Cardio Kidz is BACK this summer in Arlington Heights! Last summer we hit a record high number of 184 runners; help us grow past 200! Join us for a three (3) week running series for kids ages 2-14 of ALL ABILITIES. Each race takes place once a week on Sunday and offers age-appropriate running events including the 50 & 100-yard dashes, 1/4-mile, 1/2-mile and 1-mile run. Kids can register to run UP in distance for a greater challenge. An Alternate 1/4-mile race is available for 2nd-8th graders who are looking for a shorter race. And that's OK! We hope they will give it a try and will encourage them every step of the way!
In addition to the physical benefits of running, the program aims to build social-emotional skills. The Cardio Kidz environment is great for the seasoned runner and also those who may never run before. We focus on a word of affirmation in age-appropriate discussions before each race and will track weekly progress to promote goal setting and increase self-confidence. The emphasis of this series is on self-improvement vs. competition with others. We realize that accomplishments look different for everyone, and it is our goal for every participant to make big strides and have FUN while doing so!
Pricing: $35 registration fee includes: Three (3) Weeks of Races, three (3) Race Bibs, Cardio Kidz Swag, Goal Tracker Sheet, Weekly Progress Report and Finisher Medal.
$5 Sibling Discount. Registration is non-refundable.
Rain Date: August 2nd

Three Run Two was born in Logan Square, Chicago, out of a passion for self-improvement, community, and cultural awareness. Founded on the belief that running is about much more than miles, the crew celebrates diversity and brings together everyone from first-time runners to ultra-marathoners. There's no pace hierarchy here, just genuine people who show up Tuesday and Thursday nights in Logan Square to run, connect, and belong. The crew is organic and relatable, a true reflection of Chicago in all its variety. Whether you're chasing a personal record or breaking bread with neighbors, Three Run Two proves that running is the vehicle for something bigger than the distance itself.
