**********************************************
Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping extravaganza like no other! Join us on Thursday, August 13, as we celebrate the 18th anniversary of the Strong Kids Duathlon with an expansion into Campbellford! This beloved summer event is proudly presented by the YMCA Northumberland!
And in Campbellford, there are some extra activities planned for the night! Everyone will enjoy:
- Special address to participants from professional Canadian soccer player, Jay Chapman!
- FREE complimentary BBQ dinner thanks to Rotary Club of Campbellford
Plus, the Strong Kids Duathlon is not just a race; it raises funds too! And with the event expanding to the Campbellford Y, this year we are fundraising for:
The essential Mothers of Newborns program. This invaluable, free program offers mothers and their babies a safe and supportive path to health and wellness. Promoting physical activity and fostering connections creates a vital network of support and belonging for mothers during that critical first year of their baby’s life. We currently serve over 60% of all new moms in Northumberland!
Important Camp infrastructure and initiatives to expand programming and serve more children in Northumberland to gain confidence and thrive!
Including sponsors, we have a goal to raise $10,000 in support of these critical efforts, helping local babies, kids, youth and families shine brighter.
This event is not about winning awards. It is all about being active together and supporting each other! All participants will receive a finisher's ribbon!
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!
