Running through mud? Check. Climbing over various obstacles? Check. Crawling in the mud? Check. Running a 5K or Fun Run obstacle course and getting dirty in the name of healthier communities? Check!

Whether navigating the 5K course or the Fun Run course, participants will be challenged as they run through obstacles and test their strength, agility, and stamina. Proceeds from the Dirty Dozen 5K and Fun Run Obstacle Mud Run will benefit people in the community, Y innovative health programs benefiting cancer survivors and other chronic disease programs.

Every dollar makes a difference — help us reach our goal and change lives in our community.

YMCA Bright Beginnings takes children in need back to school shopping with community volunteers. We provide a gift card to volunteers to shop for clothes with a child one-to-one. Each year, we work with the staff at local elementary schools and school districts to identify the students who are most in need. And we need your help!
