Every person deserves the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve! At the Y, we know when people work together, we can move individuals, families and the community forward.
Join us for three races and one great cause during the Y’s 5K Race Series presented by Kaiser Permanente! These fundraising events include the Creepy Crawl, Turkey Trot and Jingle Bell 5Ks.
Costumes are encouraged and add to the fun of helping the Y strengthen our community! Each race is stroller-friendly AND dog-friendly!
No refunds or financial assistance available.
For more information, please contact Special Events Director Lindsey Leiker at [email protected]!
