Register for the can't miss family event of the season hosted by the Melrose Family YMCA in downtown Melrose!

Join us for the 10th annual Melrose Family YMCA Spooky Sprint! The Melrose Family YMCA is hosting this annual 5k family event for the 10th year in a row on Saturday, October 26th at 8:30am. This race begins at the Y and travels through charming downtown Melrose and through beautiful Pine Banks. Costumes are encouraged and prizes will be awarded for the most creative and best group.

All proceeds benefit the Melrose Family YMCA’s Annual Fund which ensures no one in the community is turned away for inability to pay. In 2018 the YMCA of Metro North provided more than one million dollars in financial aid providing all children, adults and families with opportunities to develop a healthy spirit, mind and body regardless of income.
