Terms And Conditions

Please see the complete Privacy Policy for information on how Healthy Kids Running Series collects and uses Personal Information and Other Information.

Healthy Kids Running Series employs the use of cookies on our website. By accessing the site, you agreed to use cookies in agreement with the Healthy Kids Running Series’ Privacy Policy.

Most interactive websites use cookies to let us retrieve the user’s details for each visit. Cookies are used by our website to enable the functionality of certain areas to make it easier for people visiting our website. Some of our third-party service providers may also use cookies.

Healthy Kids Running Series does not knowingly collect Personal Information directly from children under the age of 13. We expect the parent or guardian of the child to be responsible for providing Personal Information of the child through the registration process.

Registration is operated through third party service providers with their own Privacy Policies and Terms of Service, and the information is shared with Healthy Kids Running Series in accordance with those policies.

Registration is generally non-transferable to other locations. Transfers may be permitted from one location to another as long as registration is open for both races and neither race has begun. Additional terms may apply. Registration can not be deferred to future seasons under any circumstances. Registration transfers are ineligible for the referral rewards program.

Registrations are not transferable to other runners. Sharing of Race Bibs is strictly prohibited. Each runner is given 5 race bibs and those cannot be shared or given to any other runner for any reason. All participants must have a participant waiver signed by a parent/guardian prior to participating in an HKRS event.

Registration is valid for one HKRS division race, per week, per location. Participants may only run in the division and location in which they are registered and may not compete or participate in additional races or locations.

Participants in Healthy Kids Running Series events agree to abide by the Code of Conduct driven by our mission, vision, and core values. Adults are reminded that this is an event for children and should set a good example for them to follow. Violations of the Code of Conduct, including unsportsmanlike conduct, running in the incorrect division, results disputes, and violations of safety policies, will result in disciplinary action.

For the well-being of all children, especially very young participants, Healthy Kids Running Series does not permit pets, emotional support, or therapy animals at its events. Service Animals are permitted, but the nature of the disability and task to be performed by the animal should be communicated in advance to both the local Community Coordinator and to the National Office.

By registering for a Healthy Kids Running Series event you confirm that you have read and understand the Code of Conduct and that you agree that all parties associated with this registration will abide by the Healthy Kids Running Series mission, vision, and core values as well as this Code of Conduct. You also understand that any violations of these values will result in disciplinary action listed above, up to and including removal from Healthy Kids Running Series with no refund.

As the parent or legal guardian of the children named, you hereby give your full consent and approval for your child or children to participate in Healthy Kids Running Series. You understand and acknowledge that running is a potentially hazardous activity. You assume all risks associated with your child or children running in this event including, but not limited to: falls, contact with other participants, the effects of weather, including high heat and/or humidity, conditions of the course, all such risks being known and appreciated by you. In addition to giving your full consent for your child’s participation, you do hereby waive, release, hold harmless and forever discharge Healthy Kids Running Series, the Community Coordinator(s), directors, board members, officials, staff, sponsors, supervisors, and representatives for any injury that may be suffered by your child in normal cause of participation in the designated sport and the activities incidental thereto, whether paid damages, injury, or loss due to negligence or not.

Additionally, you grant Healthy Kids Running Series permission to use your child’s image, voice, and likeness in any program for promotion of Healthy Kids Running Series including written materials, website materials on any and all Healthy Kids Running Series publication across the entire worldwide web (including but limited to www.HealthyKidsRunningSeries.org and its sub domains), Healthy Kids Running Series National and local social media sites including but limited to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok, Flicker, Pinterest, LinkedIn and any other unnamed form of social media, video, audio, or other forms without prior consent or compensation of any kind. Registrants may request a limitation on use, which may be granted if related to personal safety concerns. Please contact us at info@healthykidsrunningseries.org with your request.

Further, you and your child or children, agree to abide by and uphold Healthy Kids Running Series’ Code of Conduct, mission, and core values. Participants, parents, spectators or any on-site individual acting in a way that doesn’t uphold the code of conduct or core values will face disciplinary action up to and including loss of participation points, removal from the race, removal from the Series, and permanent ban from Healthy Kids Running Series’ events.

Lastly, you understand that Healthy Kids Running Series registration is non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be deferred to future registrations. In the event a Healthy Kids Running Series race does not take place due to severe weather, natural disaster, pandemic, acts of war, acts of God or force majeure, or other circumstances, registration fees will not be refunded in whole or in part. The full Cancellation Policy can be found here.

Registration fees, sponsorship payments, and donations are non-refundable, non-transferable, and registrations cannot be deferred to future seasons. In the event of injury or illness that prevents a child from participating in a registered Healthy Kids Running Series event, parents/guardians can submit a doctor’s note and a full or partial refund may be provided (less processing fees). Refund requests must be submitted to your local Community Coordinator prior to Week 3.

For Single Day Walk Ups: Race registration is non-refundable and non-transferable to other HKRS race locations, future race weeks, and future race seasons under any circumstance. Only one Single Race registration can be applied towards an upgrade (per child). No refunds or additional credits will be issued for participants registered for multiple Single Races who choose to upgrade.

Disclaimer: This policy also pertains to sponsors with coupon codes. Sponsors who already registered their child(ren) and paid the registration fee are not eligible for a refund unless they meet the criteria outlined above.

Runners who register for a Single Race are eligible to upgrade to the Full Series and pay the difference through RunSignUp. Only one Single Race registration can be applied towards an upgrade (per child). No refunds or additional credits will be issued for participants registered for multiple Single Races who choose to upgrade. Participants are advised that if they plan sign up for more than two races, we strongly recommend registering for the Full Series.

Instructions on how to initiate an upgrade can be found here.

Healthy Kids Running Series events take place rain or shine. In the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions individual races may be postponed or rescheduled in accordance with the full Cancellation Policy found here. Per the refund policy agreed to during the registration process, HKRS registration fees are nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to future seasons. HKRS does not issue full or partial refunds for single race cancellations. In the event that a severe weather or other event that requires the cancellation of three or more races (i.e. hurricane, tornado, or other natural disaster) HKRS will issue a partial refund (less processing fees). No refunds will be issued for single race cancellations, rain dates, postponed races, or make up fun runs.

Sweepstakes: Healthy Kids Running Series may conduct sweepstakes through both the National Office as well as individual race Series. Rules and regulations for each sweepstakes (including eligibility, start and end date, and value of prize) varies and can change at any time. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries. There is no purchase necessary to enter a Healthy Kids Running Series sweepstakes. To enter any sweepstakes without purchase, email info@healthykidsrunningseries.org.

Healthy Kids Running Series is, from time to time, the recipient of other organization’s sweepstakes and entry is bound by the terms and conditions of those sweepstakes and not Healthy Kids Running Series.

Contests: Healthy Kids Running Series may conduct contests whereas cash/prizes are awarded based on placement in a race. Eligibility, start and end date, and value of prize varies and stated at the time of entry.

Awards: Healthy Kids Running Series provides awards for participation and placement in its events. Generally, medals are provided to all participants, but this is subject to change at any time.

Trophies are generally awarded based on points earned throughout the Series, but this is subject to change at any time. Depending on the total number of runners some Programs may award 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies, some may only award 1st. This varies by location and division and can change from one season to the next. Some locations also only begin awarding trophies when runners reach the timed divisions (1/4 mile and up). Healthy Kids Running Series does not guarantee trophies to any participant and does not offer trophies for sale. Please contact the local Community Coordinator for the trophy policy of each Program.

Healthy Kids Running Series is a fun event for young children and as such does not use timing, chips, or photo/video finish technology. The Community Coordinator or one of their designated representatives or volunteers, is responsible for monitoring the finish and judging the order of finishers with their naked eye. Disputing results is a violation of the Code of Conduct and will result in disciplinary action.

Adults are reminded that this is an event for children and should set a good example for them to follow.

Referrals: Healthy Kids Running Series offers rewards for referring registrants. Using a unique link provided upon registration, referrals are tracked and after three complete registrations the referrer receives an automatic $10 refund. After five complete registrations the referrer receives an item of HKRS “swag” that is mailed to the mailing address provided. Shipping and processing times vary. Exact referral swag items are subject to changes at any time. Registration transfers are ineligible for the referral rewards program.

Healthy Kids Running Series believes that every child who wants to participate should be able to, regardless of financial ability. The Registration Assistance fund is dedicated to covering the registration fees for those in need of financial support and aims to serve children who are eligible for the Federal Child Nutrition Program for free or reduced lunch fees. The application is available here. Eligibility can change at any time. Financial assistance is based on amount of funds available and is not guaranteed
