We are feeling very fortunate to have been able to complete our 2020 Community Wellness Challenge Series. This year was so difficult for so many and without the help and willingness from our participants, sponsors, volunteers and community, we might have not been able to hold these events. Here’s to our 2021 Community Wellness Challenge Series! https://www.altoonamirror.com//area-ymca-feeling-very-fo/

Turkey Trot Participants, Thanks for helping us make our first virtual race a success! We learned a lot and are grateful to everyone for your patience and willingness to work with us.... As promised, the t-shirts will be ready for pick-up at the Y today, Friday December 4 from 2:30p until 7:00p. We will have them near the check in desk (much like our previous packet pick-ups) so you do not have to physically enter the building to receive your shirt. The Y will also be open 7am-12p on Saturday and 10a-3p on Sunday as well for pickup. Pick-up will close on Monday, December 7 at 8:30p. If you are unable to pick-up your shirt, or would prefer to have your shirt mailed, please contact [email protected] to set that up. Thanks again and we hope to see you for the Twilight Race on New Year’s Eve!
