Our YMCA believes that our community should grow stronger together by hosting a number of health initiatives and events that support our community in spirit, mind, and body.
The YMCA of Southwestern Indiana offers a training program for individuals interested in the October race. This volunteer led program helps individuals from all types of backgrounds gain confidence, improve health and establish friendships while training toward a common goal.
