This Ballantyne road race tradition continues on December 11th, marking the 17th annual Run! Ballantyne 8K, 5K, and Fun Run Presented by Northwood Office. With close to 2,000 participants in 2019, this Sara’s YMCA signature event is one of the largest road races in the Ballantyne area. Hit the pavement and make your footprints count in support of the YMCA Annual Campaign that gives youth an opportunity to play, learn and grow in a safe and thriving environment. With the community’s support in 2019, Run! Ballantyne raised over $72,000, providing hundreds of children the opportunity to participate in enriching, life-changing YMCA programs like preschool, after school, summer camp and sports.
