Advanced Pediatrics supports children’s health in the communities where we live and work. That’s why we support events that promote fitness and good health for kids. This year we're sponsoring the following events and hope your family can participate!

Advanced Pediatrics was the Title Sponsorship of the 2025 Parker Kids’ TRY-athlon . This non-competitive event gave kids of all ages and ability levels a chance to swim, bike, and run in a supportive and spirited environment.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and took a spin at the prize wheel.

Over the last 50 years, we’ve looked for ways to support healthy habits and an active lifestyle for families in our communities. That’s why we’ve returned in 2023 as sponsors for both the spring and fall Aurora Healthy Kids Running series.

In 2006, Justin Miller started having health issues. His mom, Lori, had the persistence and tenacity that only a parent can have when their child is sick. It was Advanced Pediatrics’ own Dr. Stephanie Stevens, who listened to this concerned mom and sent Justin for a second CT scan after the first was inconclusive. The scan returned with a stage IV neuroblastoma diagnosis. Justin bravely fought the disease for eight years, relapsing six times. His mom, Lori, says it was his gift to share his journey with others. Watch a video of Justin, a special kid with a special gift for helping other kids.

Justin loved LEGOs and was a self-proclaimed Cancer Fighting Ninja and Lego Master. His family created a foundation after his death called the Just-in-Time Foundation to continue to provide support, resources, and information to families with children impacted by cancer.
 
In honor of Justin, Advanced Peds collected approximately 60 sets of LEGOs that will be given by the Just-in-Time Foundation to children being hospitalized at Children's Hospital Colorado. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who donated!

The Parker Kids TRY-athlon is about fun over competition. Boys and girls ages 6-12 across all ability levels show their skills in three events: swimming, biking and running over this daylong event.

Swim heats and start times will be assigned at check-in. 

• 6-8 years: 25m swim (1 length)/~0.75 mile bike/~.5 mile run
• 9-10 years: 50m swim (2 lengths)/~1.5 mile bike/~.5 mile run
• 11-12 years: 100m swim (4 lengths)/~1.5 mile bike/~1 mile run

Registered participants receive an Advanced Peds tote bag, commemorative t-shirt, swim cap, custom race bib, finish line medal, and post-event refreshment.

Healthy Kids Virtual is an adaptation of the usual HKRS Race Day experience! HKRS believes in leading an active healthy lifestyle. During the time of social distancing, it is important that parents encourage children to stay active!

A Virtual Race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog or walk on the grass, on the sidewalk, on the trail, on the treadmill or on the track. Your child will run their age appropriate race distance, at their own pace, and Mom and Dad record the time! Parents then upload the time after each race into the Series specific results sheet found on our Results Page. Families can also choose their own start and finish line, or if available, use an existing one provided by HKRS!
