This Memorial Day, we’re proud to recognize students from the U.S. Naval Academy who have become a valued part of the YMCA Harrisburg Marathon, Half, and Relay. ⚓

For the past several years, dozens of members from the U.S. Naval Academy have travelled from Annapolis, Maryland, to run in our end-of-year race event.

Competing in both the marathon and half-marathon heats, their members have quickly become a community favorite not only for their impressive performances but also for the all-out enthusiasm they show other runners.

Thank you for continuing to inspire our community and showing us what it means to be a leader both on and off the course. We're incredibly grateful for your participation and service. ❤️💙🤍

Strong women set the pace.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmoms, guardians, and role models who support, encourage, and inspire us every step of the way.

Today, we’re celebrating you! 💙
