Description

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 PM - 4 PM on Sunday afternoons at Peaks View Park from Sept. 11 - Oct. 9. Lynchburg is a runner-friendly city, with many races and trails suitable for children and families to enjoy.

UPDATE - We are changing locations for the rest of this season due to some issues with our current location. So the races on 9/25, 10/2, and 10/9 will take place at the new location.
