The 2017 YMCA Couch to 5K Program was a huge success!!!!!! These are just a few of the pictures from this year’s 9 week running program.  The enthusiasm, determination and team spirit from all participants are what made it a memorable and rewarding experience.

Congratulations to everyone who participated and to those who completed the Downtown Dash!  This team came in 4th place in the Corporate Challenge.  Hats off to our program leader, Cindy Andrews and her team of volunteer coaches, for making it the success that it was.   We look forward to seeing all of you again in 2018.
