KIDS' FUN RUN
Fit for Fun, Fit for LifeTM

Children of all abilities are invited to participate in the 15th annual Texas Children’s Hospital Kids’ Fun Run. The 2012 event will be different from years prior as school groups will be the only participants.

Unfortunately, the 2012 Fun Run will not be open to the public because we are not able to hold the Kids’ Fun Run the Saturday before the Marathon. Instead the Olympic Trials will be taking place. It will be a great opportunity to support the marathon and future Olympians.

School Information
Each school will be responsible for completing the 3K or 1K on their own time. The week of January 9th-13th we will celebrate the Fun Run by meeting with different schools to see how they completed the run.

The 2012 Kids' Fun Run has reached the registration limit and is no longer open.

The Kids’ Fun Run will be limited to 5,000 kids and the deadline for registration will be December 2nd, 2011. Registration packets will be delivered to the schools the week of December 12th-16th.

We will resume the regular Kids’ Fun Run in 2013.

About the Kids' Fun Run
Texas Children’s provides the Kids’ Fun Run to educate and encourage Houston-area children and their families to adopt active, healthy lifestyles.
