UPDATE: After long consideration, Running Kids has decided not to schedule any races for the 2011 season. This decision was tough to make but many reasons were considered to include finances and sponsorship and little ones at home. We will continue to work hard this year to prepare for the 2012 season and will send updates through our newsletter distribution. We will still continue our timing management services.

Our Mission - To provide children ages 5 - 17 of the community a safe and healthy environment to develop life skills through organized competitive events and furthermore present opportunities to include the adult promoting them as a role model for active living.

Goals - Organized youth sporting events will benefit children & families by providing a healthy and safe environment to develop life skills.

Healthy - Training and participating in races and triahtlons supports a healthy lifestyle for children. Today, with the focus on nutrition and combating childhood obesity, this company provides a healthy alternative. Post-race clinics on health, fitness, and nutrition will be presented by subject matter experts at all events.

Safe - Any sporting event provides a outlet for children to focus their attention and energy. Children are very impressionable and this program provides a safe outlet for them during their formative years. Participation in the network of races will provide children a safe extracurricular activity or hobby.

Life Skills - Sports and competition are important in developing life skills in all children. This program helps children develop many life skills: self-confidence, self-esteem, commitment, focus, dedication, resolve, determination, motivation, sportsmanship, and a healthy competitive spirit.
