Y26 Day Wellness Challenge

26 Wellness Challenge: Ignite Your 26 Days of Movement

Welcome to the Y26 Wellness Challenge, an exhilarating event brought to you by the YMCA, designed to inspire members like you to embrace 26 days of movement, wellness, and adventure. The Y26 Challenge draws its inspiration from the prestigious NYC marathon, where the YMCA stands proudly as an official charity partner, symbolizing the enduring spirit of commitment and community. In harmony with our 8 runners preparing to conquer 26.2 miles in the NYC Marathon on November 5th on behalf of the YMCA of MEWSA, the Y26 Wellness Challenge encourages participants to find their "26" days of movement and wellness. Additionally, by engaging in optional fundraising efforts, we aim to support those in need through our financial assistance program.

Y26 encourages you to find your unique "26" — a personalized journey of 26 days, each filled with diverse activities that elevate your well-being. It's not about running, but about exploring new experiences and pushing your boundaries to enhance your health and vitality.

Registration is now closed: 

Purpose and Giving Back: In addition to focusing on your personal "26" days of movement and wellness, the Y26 Wellness Challenge encourages participants to amplify their impact by making a donation and/or fundraising. Whether it's $26, $260, or more, every dollar counts and contributes to helping others in need. 100% of these funds will be directed towards providing opportunities for those who cannot afford the cost of YMCA programs, thereby enabling them to enhance their lives through fitness and wellness.  During the registration process, you'll have the option to create a personalized fundraising page. Rally your network to contribute, amplifying the impact of your 26-day wellness journey. You can become a catalyst for positive change, supporting the YMCA's mission to make a difference in the lives of all individuals.

*Participants only that make or solicit a donation of $26 or more will receive a Y26 Challenge Give Away (ie: T-Shirt / Water Bottle / TBD) 

PRIZES

Let's unite our "26" days of movement to transform lives and make a lasting impact on our community. Together, we can make a difference, one step at a time. #Y26
