Celebrate the 2024 Olympics through sport and movement!
The MetroWest YMCA Summer Olympics Challenge will occur from July 28 - August 11 at the Framingham Branch. Over the course of two weeks, you can compete in a series of Olympic events while earning medals along the way.

How It Works
While there isn't a minimum/maximum number of events you need to participate in, 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 several Group Challenge Days (schedule to come).
If you have additional questions, please contact Katrina Ladd: kladd@metrowestymca.org
Do I have to participate by myself?

For teams, one member can compete in the whole event, or you can split the event between each team member.
Is there a fee?

When should I register by?
