FALLBROOK YMCA TO HOST YOUTH TRIATHLON ON LABOR DAY
The Fallbrook YMCA will be hosting its eighth Annual Youth Triathlon on Monday, September 2, in support of the YMCA Annual Fundraising Campaign. The Youth Triathlon has become a Labor Day tradition for families, and consists of a swim, bike, and run with designated distances based on age.
Open to kids ages five and up, all skill levels are encouraged to participate in this fun, untimed event. Registration is $25 per participant and includes a t-shirt for those registered prior to August 14.
This event is a great way to give kids a taste of the triathlon setting in a fun and safe environment. By participating, kids are not only embracing wellness, but they are learning about the Y’s core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.
Event proceeds benefit the YMCA’s Annual Fundraising Campaign, ensuring that every child, family, and senior has access to life-changing programs at the Lincoln Y. KELLY FINK
Associate Executive Director, Fallbrook YMCA
FOR YOUR WELLNESS FOR YOUR WELLNESS
Did you know the Y offers Personal Training?
“Jimbo brought me back to life. I have always been an active person, but a back injury is more than just physically damaging – it’s emotionally traumatic as well. I was afraid of lifting weights at all, especially something like a kettlebell swing. Jimbo was patient but supportive, and pushed me little by little each session. After almost six months working together, my core is stronger than it’s ever been. I do kettlebell swings, Romanian deadlifts, and can hike! I actually hiked last week in Utah and didn’t have back pain. I would highly recommend the personal training program at the Y.”
