Last night was a dream only made possible by our community and incredible donors. Our 170th Annual Meeting was held at the Hilton Harrisburg Hotel, where we enjoyed each other's company, delicious food, and meaningful words from our leadership and volunteers! Congratulations to our 2024 Volunteers and Staff of the Year. The most memorable portion of the evening is due to Jeannie Zappe – Jeannie was awarded the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming at age 56 and regularly trains at our very own West Shore Branch YMCA. Jeannie is truly an inspiration, reminding us the true power of saying "yes" to life's opportunities. Thank you to all who made this evening possible, including our Presenting Sponsor Mid Penn Bank ?? Our 171st is on the horizon, and we're not slowing down. #ForABetterUs

We couldn't ask for a better finale to a terrific year of #hbgyrun events! Thank you to ALL who came out, supported, ran, and celebrated with us for yesterday's Enders YMCA Harrisburg Marathon, Half, and Relay ?? Thank you to Enders and Donegal Insurance Group for making it all possible. This year proved to be challenging, with city construction, last-minute changes, and course adjustments. Fortunately for us, we have an amazing community with us through it all, cheering on our runners and supporting the Y every day. We hope you enjoy this year's results (thank you for your magic, Falcon Race Timing!) and finish line photos, provided by Alyssa Skerpon Photography and OSS Health. If it takes a village, we have a pretty awesome one. 2025, we see you! ??: bit.ly/24marathon-photos ?: bit.ly/24marathon-results
