Your registration supports this essential mission, ensuring we can continue to help those in our community who need the Y most.

Get your festive spirit ready! Join us in Beverly to run, walk, or prance through scenic coastal roads and historic downtown. With Santa, elves, and others in costume, it's the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!
