Ventura Family YMCA Fun & Fitness 5k

I can't tell you how excited I am to be running the Ventura Family YMCA Fun & Fitness 5k! My last race was the color run - which was tons of fun - but not timed. So now I am incredibly excited to see if maybe I'm improving my times with all my extra training. The 13th annual 5k run/walk  is on July 27th at 8 am in Ventura - followed by a pancake breakfast (yum!).Not only is the race close by, it's also for a great cause. 

Event proceeds with go to the Ventura Family YMCA Open Doors Program, ensuring that no one is turned away from the YMCA due to heir inability to pay. I think it's incredibly important that all families and kids learn to love fitness, and can benefit from the great programs that the YMCA offers. The Ventura Family YMCA has FUN fitness programs for kids, families, seniors - everyone! Including, of course, the 5k this month :)


The Fun & Fitness event has awards for the top 3 finishers in each division as well as raffle prizes. But honestly, the biggest prize? Having fun while staying fit with friends and family. 

So what are you waiting for? Register now - individuals are $30 ahead of time, $35 on the race day. If you want to go with the whole family? $65 today and $80 on race day. I can't wait to see you there!

  1. I'm excited for you! I'm in the process of training for my first 5k. I love the cause you're running for, too. As a foster parent, our local Y has been a godsend, and it's great that they make it available to less-fortunate families!

  2. What a great cause! I'm so impressed that you are doing a run when most people don't even make it to the gym these days :) I'm curious to know more about the Color Run. I've heard great things. Is it true that they pour paint on you in the end? :)

  7. I hope to one day run in a 5K - but for right now I am still walking. I’m going to walk one really soon with my kids. We had a 3 mile run here today. I’m glad to say I am getting there!
