Registration is open for the Healthy Kids Running Series, a five week running series for kids age 2 through eighth grade. The races are held from 3:30-4:30 PM on Sunday afternoons at Peaks View Park from Sept. 15 - Oct. 20. Lynchburg is a runner-friendly city, with many races and trails suitable for children and families to enjoy.

The $35 registration fee (for those who register through Aug. 24th) includes participation in all five races,the Healthy Kids Running Series T-Shirt, race bibs, a sponsor race bag, and a medal each participant receives at the end of the five-week program. Top point scorers also receive a trophy based on point totals. Prices go up on August 25th to $40 for the entire series. Runners can also register for individual races for $10 per race.
