Kids Summer Run Series

Get ready for a summer of active fun at the Kids Summer Run Series, kicking off on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, in the vibrant Downtown Wellen Park of North Port, FL. This engaging 4-week series invites children aged 1-16 to participate in a lively 1-mile run each Tuesday evening, starting at 7:00 PM EDT. The flat course through Downtown Wellen Park provides a perfect, scenic setting for young runners to challenge themselves, foster new friendships, and build their running skills in a supportive community atmosphere.

Participants can look forward to more than just the run; each registered child receives a special t-shirt, with a registration deadline of June 1st to ensure sizing. The series also features a unique summer swag item distributed each week, adding an extra element of excitement. The grand finale promises to be particularly memorable, culminating in a festive color FUN run mile on the final Tuesday, June 23rd. With typical race day conditions in early June seeing highs around 89°F and lows around 71°F, and a 21% chance of precipitation, the evening start time helps provide a cooler experience.

Beyond the weekly challenge, the Kids Summer Run Series emphasizes fun and community. Refreshments are provided after each run, ensuring young athletes stay hydrated and energized. This recurring event, hosted by Zoomers, offers a fantastic opportunity for kids to embrace fitness in a dynamic and encouraging environment, making it a highlight of the North Port summer calendar.
