This summer series returns to Arlington Heights with three weeks of Sunday races designed for children ages 2-14 of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced runners. Participants can choose from a variety of distances including 50 and 100-yard dashes, quarter-mile, half-mile, and mile runs, with the option to run up a distance level for extra challenge or try an alternate quarter-mile race. Beyond the physical fitness benefits, the program emphasizes building confidence and social-emotional skills through age-appropriate encouragement, goal-setting activities, and weekly progress tracking.
