2024 – Division 2: KidFit Festival and Fun Run

Junior League of Harlingen

The Rio Grande Valley ranks as one of the most overweight and obese regions in the country. In Hidalgo County, one of the three counties within the RGV, the obesity rate is 42.9%, higher than the Texas state average of 36%. In an effort to promote healthier lifestyles and overall well being, the Junior League of Harlingen, TX’s KidFit Festival and Fun Run was founded 12 years ago. Working in collaboration with Harlingen parks and recreation department, local city government, school districts, non-profits, and businesses, the KidFit Festival and Fun Run has a large range of activities for children of all ages to participate. To increase participation and create some friendly competition, the Junior League of Harlingen has local public, charter and private schools compete for most registered participants. A testament to member engagement, every member from The Junior League of Harlingen volunteers at this event. 

Congratulations Junior League of Harlingen!  

Award Recipients in Division 2 have 51-150 Actives + Provisionals.
