“To Finish is to WIN!”
In the early 80’s, Pat Ryan introduced Cortland to a fun way to get outside and compete against yourself. With this updated version, you’ll still push yourself, earn “medals” and create memories! The $30 registration fee will cover the cost of a t-shirt, lanyard and buttons for each challenge you complete, plus weekly group check ins. We will have group events take place for a small additional fee to help mark off challenges throughout the summer to keep you motivated. All proceeds from this event go directly to the Cortland YMCA’s Membership for All Campaign, which helps keep the YMCA accessible to all.
All events will include Gold, Silver or Bronze participation levels. Events to push yourself in include: aerobic exercise, biking, triathlon, canoeing, swimming, running, hiking and pickleball.
