Kids Series

This is a FREE event offered to all children in the Lehigh Valley. Every other Saturday morning throughout the summer bring your kids over to Lehigh Parkway and register them to run in the Annual Kids Summer Series, an event just for kids! Children who run in 4 of the 6 events will receive a free t-shirt.

The 11-12 and 13-14 age groups are eligible for overall series award on the final day of the series. 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place for boys and girls will be based on finishes in at least 4 out of the 6 races offered. Scoring is cross country format  – points are earned by placement in the event. 1^st place = 1 point, 2^nd place = 2 points, 3^rd place = 3 points. The goal is to score the lowest number of points.

Volunteers Needed: We depend on our many, wonderful volunteers to help make these events possible. If you are able to volunteer your time at a race, please fill out our volunteer form.
