Join the YMCA for a
morning of fun and fitness Sept. 27 at the third annual Y Run.
The Lincoln Area YMCA, in conjunction with 17 other Illinois Y's, is
observing the Illinois State Alliance of YMCA's State-Wide Walk,
with various running and walking events planned around Illinois that
day. The local Y will have both a 5K run and one-mile fun run-walk
for all in the community who would like to participate. Awards will
be given to the top male and female in each age category as well as
the top male and female finishers. Y Run shirts will also be
provided to the first 50 registrants. Proceeds will go toward the
Lincoln Area YMCA's scholarship fund, which helps local families who
could not otherwise afford YMCA programming. So come out next
Saturday for a great cause and a good time. An Oct. 6 registration
deadline is just around the corner. Don't forget to sign up your
child for YMCA Biddy Basketball. This program is designed to
teach 4-year-old and kindergarten children the skills necessary to
play basketball, while having a great time. Registrations received
after Oct. 6 will incur a $10 fee increase. Teams will practice once
a week, with games played on Saturday mornings.
