Upcoming YMCA Events!
The Ithaca YMCA has two great events coming up, and we’d love for our community to get involved—whether as participants or volunteers!
IC Tri for the Y
Join us Sunday, November 16, for our short indoor triathlon hosted in collaboration with Ithaca College’s Sport Event Planning class. This fun event is perfect for athletes of all levels—including youth as young as age 8 (must have passed the YMCA swim test). Swim, bike, and run your way through a supportive, energetic environment while helping raise funds for Y community programs. Register Here
Jingle Jog 5K and Family Fun Mile
Formerly known as the Santa Run, our annual holiday 5K returns on Saturday, December 6! This festive run welcomes all ages and abilities. Wear your favorite holiday gear and get into the seasonal spirit with friends and family.
We’re always looking for volunteers to help make these events successful. If you’re interested, please reach out to msteffie(at)ithacaymca .com.
Finally, thanks to a generous Finger Lakes Running Club Mini Grant, we’ll be hosting several Running Injury Prevention & Training Workshops later this Fall! These sessions will cover topics like road running, trail running, distance training, and how to design a smart race plan. You can register on the Y website under the search topic “Race Ready.”
