This year the YMCA at Virginia Tech will celebrate the 33rd anniversary of Healthy Kids Day®, a national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids.

Healthy Kids Day® is a free "Summer Kick-off" event including a one-mile fun run, enrichment activities, fun filled games, interactive demonstrations and a healthy focus on family life! The event will also be promoting local summer programs and activities for children, encouraging them to remain active throughout the summer months. The YMCA Food Truck will also be on site.

Bring out the family and take a walk, run, skip, hop, jog or dance along our One Mile Fun Run route starting and finishing outside the YMCA Lancaster House on Washington Street in Blacksburg. The route meanders through beautiful Stadium Woods and around Lane Stadium and Cassel Coliseum. The race is open to all ages and fitness levels.

The One Mile Fun Run is free however a suggested donation of $5.00 per person is greatly appreciated to help with event costs and our Y program for kids in our community. Donations can be made at: https://vtymca.org/support-the-y/.
