About the George I. Theisen Family YMCA PB&J Family Fun Run
The course is a short loop run multiple times around the YMCA, so families can choose how far they go. Younger kids can stop after a lap or two while others keep going. There is also a separate mini-course for toddlers. Awards go to the largest family team and the most spirited, so costumes and matching outfits are part of the scene.
Check-in and bib pickup happen at the YMCA in the hour or so before the toddler wave goes off, with the main run following shortly after. Entry is free; the ask is a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly, or a couple of other approved pantry or household items brought on race day. Food, inflatables, and games follow at the finish.
