DETAILS
Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping extravaganza like no other! Join us on Thursday, August 21, as we celebrate the 17th anniversary of the Strong Kids Duathlon – the most beloved event of the summer, proudly presented by the YMCA Northumberland!
The Strong Kids Duathlon is not just a race. YMCA Northumberland's Strong Kids Duathlon raises funds for the essential Mothers of Newborns program. This invaluable, free program offers new mothers and their babies a safe and supportive path to health and wellness. It promotes physical activity and builds a vital network of support during baby's critical first year.
This family-friendly, child duathlon is attended and sponsored by many Northumberland families and businesses, bringing together like-minded community supporters to celebrate our children and youth while raising awareness and funds for the Mothers of Newborns program.
Come and be a part of this empowering celebration, full of fun and emotions, as we unite to make a difference in the lives of many!
