ABOUT THIS RACE
For the 18th year, the Reindeer Ramble will provide a great community-building atmosphere that brings people together from all walks of life. This event is a strong source of the YMCA's fundraising effort that helps to provide assistance to children and families through our financial assistance program. Participants who register for the Reindeer Ramble should feel proud to know that their registration is helping to fund our Annual Campaign efforts that impact thousands of lives in our community!

Through the generosity of donors, our financial assistance program offers families a way to apply for assistance on a sliding fee scale thats designed to fit each individual's financial situation. Your support makes this possible. Our services are available to everyone and proceeds from this event will help provide scholarships for children and families to attend YMCA programs and memberships.

We encourage you to wear your favorite holiday sweater, Santa suit or holiday festive attire and get into the spirit of this holiday fun run/walk - GET CREATIVE! You may register as an individual runner/walker or with a group as a team. Teams of 5 or more will receive a discounted registration fee. Teams can consist of adult and child members. We will recognize the top finishers in each category, as well as those race teams that celebrated the holiday spirit the brightest.
