YMCA Harrison Classic … Run, Fun, Win!

Everyone who participates in the YMCA Harrison Classic is a winner regardless of how they finish. All participants receive a t-shirt, medal, and a healthy snack to refuel. Thank you all for your continued patience and support as we continue to evaluate the safety practices of our programs and events. Our goal is first to keep everyone safe and healthy. Parents are encouraged to run with their children and/or meet them at the finish line. Parents do not need to register for the event, it’s a kids-only run. Participation will be capped at 1100 kids. This will ensure that we provide a positive experience for all registered kids.

Registration is now closed for the 2022 Harrison Classic.
We will not be taking registration on Race Day. Sorry if you missed registration this year, we look forward to seeing you next year.
