Another great reason to belong to the Mankato Family YMCA.

We want to encourage members to utilize the Y as often as they can. Sometimes, it's more convenient for members to utilize a Y in a different location when traveling, near a workplace or in another region.

Make the Mankato Family YMCA your HOME Y (utilize
this Y 50% of the time), you are welcome at all
other MN YMCAs at no extra charge.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE

Wish you could tell us how you feel about your visit to the Y?

Please look for our display in the lobby. A few days each month we will be asking for your feedback.

Select a chip that represents your feelings and add it to the container.

Each color represents your reaction as you leave the YMCA.

Examples will include:

Joy-Green - Great day! (I'd recommend the Y!)

Happy-Yellow - Ok day.

Disappointed-Blue - Frustrated. (Example: You couldn't get in the pool).

Anger-Red - Horrible, No Good, Really Bad Day. (I wouldn't recommend the Y to a friend).

NEW FLOORING IN LIFE CENTER

So we dare you to run this challenging August 5K or 10K course. Whether you have your support group with you or not, you will not be running this race alone. Afterwards, we will wrap up this year's Race Series with a celebration sponsored by UPS.

Official Race Start: 8:00 a.m.
