The YMCA puts on two family fun and fitness events that have become Kenosha traditions…one old and one new. 2008 will see the 31st annual Firecracker Run/Walk and the Triathlon/Duathlon will be our 6th!

The Kenosha YMCA Triathlon takes place in early June at beautiful Richard Bong State Recreation Area and kicks off the triathlon season.

The Firecracker Run/Walk takes place on the Saturday immediately preceding the 4^th of July. Hundreds of participants come from near and far to compete in this event which winds its way through the Third Avenue Historic District and Kenosha’s fabulous lakefront.

For the participant and spectator alike, these two Kenosha traditions are hard to beat!
