The Challenger Division is an adaptive 75 YD Dash (or other distance based on need) for children with disabilities and/or special needs.
This allows for parents, siblings, and friends to be on the course with runners to provide support, as well as bringing their own supportive devices such as crutches, braces, wheelchairs, etc. to be used on the course.
This division is specifically for children with physical disabilities (e.g., muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, etc.) developmental disabilities (e.g., down syndrome, autism, etc.) and sensory impaired children (e.g., visually, hearing, etc.). If you think your child could benefit from the Challenger Division please reach out to the local Community Coordinator.
Children are welcome to participate in their age or grade appropriate race and receive the same support on the race course.
Healthy Kids Running Series is dedicated to providing an inclusive youth running experience for children of all abilities. Please reach out to us at info@healthykidsrunningseries.org with questions or suggestions on how to help us make sure every child is able to participate.
The Challenger Division is an adaptive 75 yard race for children with disabilities and/or special needs. This division is specifically for children with physical disabilities (e.g. muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, etc.), developmental disabilities (e.g. down syndrome, autism, etc.) and sensory impaired children (e.g. visually, hearing, etc.).
Every child is welcome to participate in their age or grade appropriate race and receive the same support on the race course as they would in the Challenger 75 Yard Dash.
Challenger participants are also welcome to race in the division that best meets their needs, even if the division is not necessarily the 75 yard dash. Please reach out to your local Community Coordinator to discuss alternative options, if you feel that there is another race distance that better suits your child’s needs and the Community Coordinator can work with you. To locate your local Community Coordinator’s contact information, please go to the Find A Race, select your Series Name, and scroll down to the Coordinator heading to view contact information.
Parents, siblings, and friends who register with the Community Coordinator ahead of time are allowed to be on the course with runners to provide support. Runners can also bring their own supportive devices such as crutches, braces, wheelchairs, etc. to be used on the course.
