On Your Mark With Highmark Youth Challenge

Every child and teen participating in the “On Your Mark with Highmark Youth Challenge” is a winner!

This popular fitness program encourages children to take part in community footraces…by either running or walking the 5K distance.  And each child age 6 to 12* who completes one community footrace – or each youth age 13 to 18* who completes two community footraces – receives free registration to The Great Race courtesy of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.

After completing The Great Race (5K or 10K division), each youth receives a personalized certificate recognizing the achievement. And since this is not a competitive activity, everyone is a victor for simply taking on the challenge.
