Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the 13th Annual YMCA Strides for Kids 5K Dash at the Emory Folmar YMCA Soccer Complex on Saturday, April 11th! This exhilarating run is flat and super-fast. A Personal Best/PR awaits you! Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, this event is designed for all fitness levels.
All proceeds from this event support the YMCA’s Annual Giving Campaign. Every contribution no matter the size helps provide direct program support and financial assistance to families in our area. By working together, we can have an impact that goes far beyond dollars and cents. Our YMCA never turns away anyone due to the inability to pay. Their goal is to give more kids an opportunity to participate in YMCA Youth Sports and to expand the TOPSoccer program for kids with Diverse Abilities, which they offer free to all participants. Organizers continue by saying, your support of this race goes a long way in helping us meet these goals.
I-92 WLWI is a proud sponsor and supporter! I-92’s Greg Thomas hopes to see you there, be sure to say hey!
