Come join us Saturday, September 20th, 2025 for our BIGGEST event of the year!

We’re kicking it all off with the Swifty 5K and the 1 Mile (YMCA Version): A Run Through the Eras around Hope Lake. There will be 11 tables set up around the course to collect bracelets from each Era.

Afterwards, we’re moving it over to ski side where we’re taking over with a whole day of Swifty-themed activities including:

  • Silent auction (featuring baskets inspired by each Era) Sponsored by McNeil Development Company
  • Karaoke
  • Bracelet Making Sponsored by Vision’s Credit Union
  • Photo booth Sponsored by Experience Cortland
  • Scavenger hunt Sponsored by Pomeroy, Armstrong and Casullo, LLP
  • Trivia
  • Junior Jewels shirt decorating Sponsored by Byrne Dairy and Tompkins Financial
  • MORE!

Make a weekend out of it!
