Both courses begin near the Marion YMCA and move through the scenic trails and natural setting of Lowe Park, offering a safe and enjoyable route for participants.

• 5K Route: A loop through Lowe Park and surrounding areas, ideal for runners, walkers, and families looking for a fun and approachable challenge.
• 10K Route: Extends beyond the park, incorporating a more advanced course that travels up Tower Terrace, providing additional distance and a more challenging experience for seasoned runners.
• Prizes will be awarded to overall winner’s of the 5K and 10K in both the men’s and women’s division.  Medals will be awarded to the winner of each age group.

Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace while enjoying the park environment and the energy of a supportive community. Whether someone is running competitively or simply walking with friends and family, the event emphasizes:

• Healthy living and physical activity
• Community connection and inclusivity
• A welcoming, positive atmosphere for all participants

The CommUNITY Run highlights the YMCA’s mission to strengthen community through wellness and engagement—offering a meaningful opportunity for the entire community to get outside, stay active, and come together.
