YMCA Race Weekend

YMCA Race Weekend is a long-running, volunteer-powered multi-sport festival at Green Lakes State Park in Fayetteville, New York. The two-day event features Saturday options including a Sprint Triathlon (800-yard swim, 12-mile bike, 3-mile run), Aquabike, Aqua Run, and Relay, plus Sunday’s 8K Trail Race through Central New York’s forested trails and two blue-green lakes. Distances also include the Y-Challenge add-on.

The weekend is described as a tradition in Central New York racing, offering a scenic, challenging course on groomed and rugged terrain. Proceeds support YMCA programs such as Safety Around Water, Power Scholars Academy, and Cancer Survivors programs, with all operations run by volunteers.
