Rise & Run – YMCA Test Kitchen Running Club
The YMCA Test Kitchen will be launching a new morning running club this spring designed to promote wellness, community connection, and support for the Test Kitchen. Beginning April 7, 2026, the club will meet at 7:00 AM at the YMCA Test Kitchen and will be open to anyone interested in getting active and starting their day in a positive way.
Participants will gather at the Test Kitchen before heading out for a group run. The goal of the club is to encourage healthy lifestyles, build community through shared activity, and provide a welcoming environment for people who enjoy running or want to begin incorporating it into their routine.
Following the run, participants are invited to stay and enjoy coffee and pastries or breakfast items, which will be available for a donation. All donations from the refreshments will help support the YMCA Test Kitchen and its ongoing programs.
This running club is intended to create a simple but meaningful opportunity for people to connect through movement while also supporting a local community space. It brings together individuals who value wellness, fresh starts to the day, and the chance to gather with others in a relaxed setting.
Community members interested in participating are encouraged to join us starting April 7 at 7:00 AM at the YMCA Test Kitchen. Come run, enjoy a cup of coffee, and be part of a growing community focused on health and connection.
