Volunteer with Healthy Kids Running Series (HKRS)!

Healthy Kids Running Series (HKRS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that inspires children ages 2–14 to stay active, healthy, and confident through a fun, five-week running program.

Need community service hours?

Are you a high school student involved in National Honor Society, athletics, or other clubs and organizations that require volunteer hours? HKRS provides a Volunteer Letter verifying your community service hours.
