Mission
YRS provides the youth of Nova Scotia with an opportunity to engage in running at all levels as a means to a healthy, active and positive lifestyle.
YRS offers races of 1 km to 3 km in distance and encourages participation by those of all abilities.
The series is geared to youth; however, parents, guardians or any others interested in taking part are welcome to run or walk these events.
History
The Youth Running Series (YRS) volunteers are a group of appreciative runners and parents who have benefited from running and support the spirit of the running community.
YRS was launched in 1996 by volunteers and the participating Race Directors, with the backing of Run Nova Scotia (RNS).
