Naugatuck YMCA Race4Chase Registration Now Open

Naugatuck , CT, March 24, 2017 — The Naugatuck YMCA is hosting the Race4Chase Kid’s Triathlon program for the second year in a row this summer! Race4Chase is a youth triathlon program aimed to provide kids aged 6 to 12 with a safe, healthy non-competitive environment to discover the sport of triathlon. This free, 6 week training program will bring together kids from all different backgrounds and educate them on how to adopt a healthy lifestyle, coach them to develop a foundation of athletic skills, and inspire them to aim high in sports and in life.

Race4Chase, a youth triathlon program founded by Rebecca and Stephen Kowalski’s CMAK

(Chase Michael Anthony Kowalski) Foundation, celebrates the life of Chase Kowalski, who was lost at the Sandy Hook tragedy. At six years of age Chase successfully completed his first triathlon and won his age group! The program was developed to remember his life and spirit through the achievements and experiences of other children in the sport.

“It’s great to see our community’s youth choose to do something healthy for the summer. We are so proud to be able to provide the free Race4Chase program at our YMCA. This 6 week training program will be able to provide an active summer experience to kids of any and all economic backgrounds as well as provide them with the tools to live a healthy lifestyle.” - Susan Talbot, Chief Executive Officer of the Naugatuck YMCA.

The YMCA’s vision for the race is to positively impact the community by giving children a free opportunity to compete and be active. Registration is now open and available at the YMCA’s front desk or online at http://www.naugatuckymca.org/r...
