Updates to Kids Tri, Maple Leaf and Walk with Warriors

Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 spread, and recommendations from the CDC, Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the La Crosse County Health Department, we have made changes to our 2020 special events.

The Kids Tri will not take place in 2020. This decision was not an easy one to make, as it offered a great opportunity for the kids and families to focus on staying active and healthy. We felt like this decision was for the greater good of our community, helping protect our vulnerable populations and healthcare workers.

The Maple Leaf Walk Run will be offered as a Virtual Event this year. The race will still offer the Kids Maple Mile Fun Run, 5K, 5 Mile and Half Marathon distance. A t-shirt will be given out to all participants (curb-side pickup at the Y or mailed) and a medal will be awarded to half marathon finishers. Registration prices will be adjusted accordingly and current registrants will be sent a separate email to manage their registration.

Walk with Warriors was hosted in early June as a Virtual walk. Due to the severity of the COVID-19, we will not be hosting an in-person Walk with Warriors this year. Thanks again to everyone who participated virtually!

As part of our mission and cause, we will continue to explore opportunities to keep our community active, connected and engaged. We strive each and every day to serve our community and make it a better place for all.
 
We look forward to offering this event in 2021.
