From August 31 to September 20, every $1 guest visit becomes a $1 donation to Fill the Bus, helping kids access YMCA camps, programs, and services this summer.
So when you invite someone to join you, you’re not just sharing a workout; you’re opening the door for someone else, too.
It’s movement with purpose.
Fun with heart.
And impact you can feel.
Bring a buddy. ❤️

The Y is often where people find more than a program.
They find confidence.
They find friendship.
They find support.
They find a place where they are welcomed as they are.
Jordan’s Run the Runway 5K Series helps make those moments more accessible for people in our community.
When you join us on the runway, you’re helping create opportunities for local kids, families and community members to experience connection, belonging and growth through the YMCA.
That impact matters.
