Fishers YMCA Wishbone 5K / The Tradition Continues
The Wishbone 5K Run/Walk is an annual Thanksgiving event for the entire community. This year we’re celebrating 15 years of families coming together for a morning of fitness and fun.
Leashed dogs and strollers are welcome along the route but, in the interest of safety, we ask that these participants start near the back of their corrals.
Why Participate?
- Community Event: The Wishbone 5K is the Fishers YMCA’s signature event for the Annual Campaign.
- Funding: Since the race began in 2011, nearly $570,000 has been raised to ensure that no one is sent away from the YMCA due to the inability to pay.
- Participation: More than 13,300 participants have grown the Wishbone 5K into the premier Thanksgiving run in our community.
- Support: Your participation directly supports memberships, programs, summer camp, and before/after school care.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
- Community Reach: Your participation helps increase the reach of the Fishers YMCA Annual Campaign.
- Current Needs: Support will help respond to the crucial needs of families from our community.
- Financial Assistance: More than one in every four members and one in every five program participants receive financial assistance.
- Inclusivity: The YMCA is for everyone, and your help ensures we can assist more than 7,000 local families each year.
