The Summit Area YMCA’s Love & Legacy 5K is scheduled for Sunday, May 3, rain or shine. The 5K winds through Summit and welcomes participants of all ages and abilities. Together, we walk and run in honor of those impacted by cancer, remember loved ones, and celebrate the legacies that inspire us to keep moving forward. Proceeds from the 5K directly support LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, a free program that helps cancer survivors regain strength, confidence, and connection.
