Fit & Able is proud to bring back the Fortnight Before Christmas at an all new venue hosted by the Northwest Cary YMCA and course on the Cary Greenways.
On race day we will be gathering new or gently used winter hats and gloves to benefit children and teens (ages 0 – 18) who are part of the Y’s Community Supported Programs that offer families and children access to summer camp, afterschool activities, swim lessons, and Community Navigation Services and help make a real difference in our community. All clothing donations will be distributed to families during the Annual Holiday Gift Drive to spread warmth and joy to those who need it most this season. All financial donations to the YMCA will be used to purchase items to be distributed as well.
