About this event

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.

Awards: All participants receive a medal on Week 5! Trophies will be awarded to the overall top finishers in each of the divisions listed below (broken out by boys and girls respectively):

Kindergarten & 1st Grade

2nd & 3rd Grade

4th & 5th Grade

    In 2012, Original Propaganda Athletic Club opened its doors in Philadelphia with a simple conviction: every runner belongs. Founded to unite athletes across the entire spectrum, from beginners finding their footing to experienced marathoners chasing splits, OPAC built a culture where effort is respected regardless of pace or distance. Saturday mornings anchor the crew's rhythm, rotating through Philadelphia's parks and trails with pace groups that genuinely accommodate walkers through long-distance runners. The weekly tradition has become a proving ground for personal growth, skill development, and authentic connection. What drives OPAC's identity is the belief that running improvement and community support aren't competing values, they're inseparable. Over more than a decade, the crew has shaped how Philadelphia's athletic landscape values diversity and dedication, proving that a running community's strength lies in how it lifts up every single member.
