Challenge yourself through sport and movement!

How It Works
There isn't a minimum/maximum number of events you need to participate in, but keep in mind that you'll have more chances to earn medals the more events you compete in. Sports will have a Gold, Silver, and Bronze standard, and every medal you earn will be entered into a raffle. We'll also hold Group Challenge Days (see below for the schedule).
If you have questions, please contact Katrina Ladd: kladd@metrowestymca.org
