Aberdeen Family YMCA Bull Run

Race Overview

We are excited to announce we are offering the Bull Run In-person and Virtual this year in 2025. The Virtual Race will be July 13-25 and the In-person Race is Saturday, July 25, 2026. Both events are open to everyone! Make sure you register for the correct race, "Virtual" or In-person.

The Bull Run proceeds benefit YMCA programs and provide financial assistance to youth and families that may not otherwise be able to afford a Y membership and all it has to offer. Our YMCA programs are for Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.
