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.

    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
