About Healthy Kids Running Series: HKRS was founded in 2009 to provide children with a fun introduction to the sport of running in an environment that builds confidence and self-esteem. We believe our cross-country inspired program will encourage kids to adopt a “Get Up and Go” attitude. HKRS is a national, community-based non-profit that provides an inclusive five-week running series for ages 2-14, designed for kids to get active, feel accomplished and lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.

About Life Moves Dance Company: Life Moves Dance Company consists of 24 local dancers, ranging in age from 7 through 17. After a successful inaugural season in 2022 - 2023, Life Moves Dance Company is expanding our 2023 - 2024 travels and attendance of conventions to Orlando, Florida, as well as attending multiple dance competitions this season. Your participation or donation for the Dance the Winter Blues Away - 5k, Walk, and Kids Fun Run can help our families cover some of the costs associated with building well-rounded dancers, providing vital dance experience at a convention, grow their determination and confidence by competing against other fantastic dancers, and allow each dancer to make memories that will remain with them for years to come.
