Dozens of kids put some spring in their step April 7 during the first of five Sunday fun runs hosted by the Healthy Kids Running Series.
Kids run distances based on their age. The remaining weekly runs (April 14, 21, 28 and May 5) will be at Community Park, 1309 S. Main St., beginning at 4 p.m. The races start near the veterans monument.
For information or to register, email coordinator Amy Oxley at morgancountyil@healthykidsrs.org.
The local races are part of a national event designed to get kids outside and moving. Sponsors include Musselman’s, Giant, USATF Foundation, The Source Newspaper, English Construction and Snow Removal, Executive Transportation, the Kindred Family and Buffalo Wild Wings.
