Miles For a Mission

Register Here 

Welcome to the Virtual Race Fundraiser for the Oneonta Family YMCA, where your journey begins in a galaxy powered by movement, purpose, and community.

Set out from the YMCA on Ford Avenue and make your way to FoxCare Drive in whatever way feels right to you. Walk, run, cycle, dance, or stretch through yoga. Every mile you complete strengthens the force that connects and uplifts our community.

Along the way, expect moments of fun and excitement. Our sponsors and local business partners help bring this mission to life, and their generosity means you will have opportunities to win prizes throughout your journey.

The rewards are fit for a true Jedi. Take part in prize drawings, compete for top fundraiser honors, there is even  special one hour pool reservation for the top elementary student fundraiser.

Your $35 entry opens the door to the full experience. Every participant has a chance to win, and every step you take supports a meaningful cause. This is neighbors showing up for neighbors and building something stronger together.

Miles for a Mission transforms movement into impact by supporting our mission: healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility!

Track your progress, watch your avatar move along the course, and share your experience with others. Train wherever you are and see your efforts come to life on our community map. Celebrate every milestone along the way.

Join the mission. Move with purpose. And may the Force be with you every mile of the way.
