New Balance Brandywine and New Balance Christiana are proud sponsors of the Healthy Kids Running Series here in Delaware.

The Healthy Kids Running Series was created to provide kids with a positive, educational, and fun athletic experience. To combat the increasing rates of child obesity in America, HKRS was designed to motivate kids to be healthy and active and provide a fun environment to improve their self-esteem. Our focus is to have fun and create a “Get Up and Go” attitude.

The Healthy Kids Running Series is a five week running program for kids from Pre-K to 8th grade. Each Race Series takes place once a week and offers running events like the 50 yard dash and the one mile run.
Kids will compete each week of the Series for a chance to earn points, and at the end of the Series the top boy and girl finisher with the most points in their respective age division will receive a trophy. All athletes receive a medal the final day.
