YMCA Announces New Franklin Lakes Half Marathon

Registration is now open for the September race.

The Wyckoff YMCA announced it will kick off an annual half marathon this September with an inaugural race through Franklin Lakes.

The half marathon adds another event to a series of yearly sports outings hosted by the Y, including the Franklin Lakes Triathlon and "Lap the Lake" race held in June and the children's "Splash and Dash" biathlon to be held this year Sept. 21, all at the Indian Trail Club.

The 13.1 mile run will wind throughout Franklin Lakes on Sept. 29 at 8 a.m., beginning and ending at borough hall.

Registration for the event is now open for a $50 fee through Aug. 26, after which the price will go up to $70 until space runs out.

Proceeds will benefit the Franklin Lakes Mayor's Wellness Campaign and the Wyckoff YMCA's Pietro Maugeri Fund, which helps families facing hardship due to serious illness.

Runners can find more information and register for the event at the Wyckoff YMCA website.
