FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Registration open for the 37th annual Niles-Buchanan YMCA Thanksgiving Day Run
NILES, Mich. – On your mark. Get set. Go! Registration for the 2018 Niles-Buchanan YMCA Thanksgiving Day Run is officially open.
The 37th annual race will take place Thursday, November 22 and feature a 10K Run/Walk, 5K Run, and 1 Mile Fun Run.
”This year, as in the past, we anticipate over 2,000 runners representing over 25 states to participate in this long-standing community tradition,” said Jill Haboush, Race Director. “It is so much fun planning an event that draws so much interest and support from the community. And, on race day, it is simply amazing to be in the midst of so much energy as family and friends gather at the start line.”
Registration can be completed online at www.ymcaswm.com/TDR, in person at either YMCA of Southwest Michigan branch, or the day of the race at the Niles-Buchanan YMCA, 905 N. Front Street, Niles, MI.
Participants can register for $25 per person or $20 per person for households of 2-8 people now through November 4. Prices increase after that date.
Proceeds from the race benefit the Y’s Annual Campaign, which provides the opportunity for hundreds of children in our community to attend Y programs, including summer camps, after school programs, preschool and water safety to name a few, at little or no cost through financial assistance.
For over 70 years, the Y’s focus remains on youth development. We hope you consider joining our mission by participating or volunteering at this year’s Thanksgiving Day Run.
