Join us this summer for our Free Family Fun Runs Series! The YMCA’s Friday evening runs will start at the C.M. Gatton Beaumont YMCA, High Street YMCA, and North Lexington YMCA and are open to Y members and non-members. Families will gather on Friday, June 7, July 12, Aug. 2 and Sept. 13 at 6 p.m. for a quick warm-up and chat, then take off along the trails/sidewalks for a run or walk together. Participants can stick around after their run/walk for light refreshments and a snack.
Everyone is encouraged to participate - whether you're a triathlete family training for the Kids Triathlon at the Y, getting ready for A Midsummer Night's Run, or just looking for some screen-free Friday night fun.
- Friday nights June 7, July 12, Aug. 2 and Sept. 13 at 6 p.m. at the C.M. Gatton Beaumont YMCA, High Street YMCA, and North Lexington Family YMCA
- Free for members and the community
- You are free to walk, jog or run your preferred distance, but at two locations, distances will be marked:
- C.M. Gatton Beaumont YMCA: Participants can expect a marked one-mile fun run on the trail behind the Y.
- High Street YMCA: Participants can expect a 1.5-mile and 3-mile scenic downtown route starting from the Y.
- North Lexington Family YMCA: Participants will have marked options for one-mile, two-miles, and a 5K fun run along the Legacy Trail.
The run series will be weather permitting. Routes are stroller and pet friendly. All registered participants that complete all four runs will be entered to win three months of membership to the YMCA of Central Kentucky.
