THY Swimming to host
Halloween 5K at Memorial Park
Tri-Hampton YMCA is hosting its 2nd Annual Halloween 5K Run and 1 Mile Run on Oct. 31 at Memorial Park (Garden of Reflection Memorial) at 1950 Woodside Drive in Lower Makefield. Registration is from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., the Fun Run is at 9 a.m. and the 5K is at 9:30 a.m.
Timing is provided by Rand R Race Service. Pre-registration on or before Oct. 17 is encouraged. All pre 10/17 registrants will receive a tee shirt. The first 200 pre-registrants will also receive a roasted pork lunch which will be provided by the event sponsor, Newtown Pennsylvania Dutch Farmer’s Market.
Awards will be given to the top male and female finishers in Top Master’s (50-plus) and age groups (14&U, 15-19,20-29,30-39,40-49,50-59,60+). Register for the race online at www.active.com or by mail by printing a registration form at www.lowerbucksymca.com.
The event will benefit THY Swimming, ranked 11th at the recent YMCA national meet. The THY Swimming program focuses on the core YMCA values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility while encouraging each of its competitive year round swimmers to strive to reach their personal swimming goals.
THY is a strong area team which, in the past, has limited its membership to 45 high school-aged athletes. The program has been complemented this year with the addition of 25 age group swimmers (ages 8-12).
The older swimmers have welcomed their younger counterparts by starting a big brother/ big sister mentor program which was kicked off after a practice during a team pizza party. All are excited at THY Swimming about the addition of the age level swimmers!
Proceeds from this community event, the only fundraiser of the year for the team, will assist with YMCA purchased training equipment and will provide the ability to award scholarships to swimmers in need. So, come out, get some exercise, have some fun, and join us for a great morning at our 2nd Annual 5K and Fun Runs!
