Healthy Kids Running Series Spring 2026 - Tyler, TX

The Healthy Kids Running Series Spring in Tyler, TX, is a five-week running program for children in Pre-K through 8th grade, held at Noble E. Young Park. Races occur weekly during the spring. Distances are tailored to age groups: Pre-K students run 50 or 75 yards, kindergarten and 1st graders run a quarter mile, 2nd and 3rd graders run a half mile, and older elementary and middle school students run one mile. Participants accumulate points weekly based on their finishing position, creating a season-long competition. A Challenger Division offers a 75-yard adaptive race for children with disabilities or special needs, welcoming family, friends, and support devices on the course. Registering for the full series includes all five races, a shirt, a finisher medal, and sponsor items. On-site registration is available before each race. All participants receive a medal in week 5, and top finishers in each division are awarded trophies.
