Event Description

We think it's time for a 2020 restart! To usher in Fall (and keep everyone at a safe distance) the YMCA of Ottawa Illinois is launching its first Virtual Race!

The Monster Wag-N-Walk is for everyone at all fitness levels. Conjure up a spooktacular outfit for you and your favorite fur friend to walk, run, or crawl with the dead. This virtual event can be accomplished whenever and whereever you would like between the dates of 10/17/2020 - 10/31/2020.

The best part is, the YMCA Virtual Race is FREE!

All proceeds go toward the support of scholarships for those individuals participating in the EnhanceFitness program. This program is an effective arthritis management intervention that improves balance, strength, and cardiovascular endurance. 

Since this is a virtual race, you decide when and where you complete your race. Got a treadmill at home? That'll do! Rather feel the rhythm of the road (sidewalk) under your feet? Great! Take it to the streets! (Seriously, stay on the sidewalk.) Whether you're training for another race or just want to get moving, you can choose the day, time, and method.

Take a selfie with your cute pooch at your finish line and share it with us to display on our website of FINISHERS!
