My gym friend Kelly just told me about the "Healthy Kids Running Series," a five-week program for kids from pre-K to eighth grade that's being held at 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoons at Kennett Middle School, 195 Sunny Dell Road, Landenberg. The first week was April 10 and the series "runs" through May 8 (April 17 and 24 and May 1 and 8).
Age-appropriate events include the 50-yard dash, the quarter-mile, the half-mile and the one-mile run. "Kids compete each week of the Series for a chance to earn points and at the end of the Series the top boy and girl with the most points in their respective age division receive a trophy!"
Registration is $35 and covers the entire five weeks. The website is healthykidsrunningseries.org. You can sign up via Facebook or at runsignup.com.
And parents can also run! Parents will run the one-mile course each week and don't have to pay anything extra if they have a child registered.
The series is organized by David Berger of Landenberg , who is also organizing the Oct. 15 "Mushroom Cap" half-marathon.
