Boyertown Springs Into Shape

Spring’s arrival not only marks the blossoming of flowers but also ignites the desire to venture outdoors and engage in activities. The Healthy Kids Running Series offers the ideal opportunity to do just that. Whether you have an active child eager to participate or one in search of a new activity, this program provides the perfect opportunity to get them outdoors and moving. Taking place on Sunday afternoons for five weeks starting in early April, this series supports friendly competition while encouraging children to strive for their personal best. It’s an excellent way for kids to enjoy healthy outdoor pursuits while having a blast!

A little more about the program…

The Healthy Kids Running Series is a five-week running program in the Spring and Fall for kids from 2 years old to 8th grade. Each race series takes place once a week and offers age-appropriate running events including the 50-yard dash, the 75-yard dash, the 1/4 mile, the 1/2 mile, and the one-mile run. Kids compete each week of the series for a chance to earn points and at the end of the series, the top boy and girl with the most points in their respective age divisions receive a trophy. Every child receives a medal in the final race.

A little information about the HKRS Coordinators…

Jeff and Jena Shontz brought the Healthy Kids Running Series to Boyertown seven years ago. At that time they were looking for a running program that was available to their young children, but could not find anything local. Then, after learning about a kids running program that they could bring to their community, they decided to go for it, and HKRS of Boyertown was born!

Now, this is not their full-time job. They both became proud owners of Bear’s Den Fitness in Boyertown in 2022. Coach Jeff coaches the CrossFit adult classes, SWEAT classes, homeschool kids classes, and the kids CrossFit classes. Coach Jena runs all the behind the scenes operations and is an assistant coach for the kids classes. Coach Jena is also in charge of the Healthy Kids Running Series. She takes care of all the Facebook post, securing sponsors, gathering donations, vendor events, and advertising. She also works for the HKRS corporate office interviewing and onboarding new community coordinators across the country. Coach Jena also spends her time as a local coordinator for the Academic Year in America foreign exchange student program and is always looking for new host families. They have an eight year old son and eleven year old daughter. They are also host parents to an exchange student from Germany who is attending Boyertown high school this year.

As Community Coordinators for HKRS, they are highly passionate about bringing these fun events to the Boyertown area each spring and fall, and very much enjoy encouraging kids to live an active and healthy lifestyle. They love the sense of community the events bring and of course cheering on all the kids through the finish line!
