YMCA Adds Duathlon to Annual Labor Day Run

Runners get ready! Mark your calendars for the YMCA’s seventh Annual Labor Day Weekend Run on August 30. The annual 5k Run/Walk and quarter-mile children’s race has added a new event to the slate this year. The event will also feature a duathlon, which will include a two-mile run/12-mile bike/two-mile run.

“The Annual Labor Day run has been a great event for six years,” said Matt Luders, Director of the Northern Door YMCA. “We just wanted to add some new flavor to it in hopes of creating a challenge that hasn’t been seen in Door County for a few years now.”

The Labor Day Weekend Run will be held at the Northern Door Program Center located at 3866 Gibraltar Road in Fish Creek. The day includes door prizes, free use of the aquatic center, refreshments and family fun for everyone.
