Founded in 2009, series is a national, community-based nonprofit dedicated to introducing kids to running through a cross-country-inspired program. The organization emphasizes a “Get Up and Go” attitude, encouraging children to embrace physical activity and build healthy habits for life.
The Greene Township series is part of the organization’s broader mission to engage communities and families in an inclusive youth running experience. The program’s values — crawl, walk, run; be kind; make an impact; live a healthy life; and believe — guide its vision of creating an international, fun and accessible running program led by dedicated local coordinators.
Registration is now open, and families can sign up online to secure a spot for their young runners.
