Buddy Up to Lighten Up

Find A Buddy!

Buddy Up is designed to make being active fun. The mission of this program is to encourage inexperienced adults and youth to complete a running/walking event and adopt a healthier lifestyle on a continuing basis by pairing up with a motivated buddy(ies).

If you would like a buddy for an event, ask your employer to create a buddy-matching system, talk to someone at your recreational center or work-out facility about being a buddy, or contact Jason Ingargiola at the Lancaster YMCA for more ideas at (717) 397-7474.

Buddy Up participants receive the following benefits:

A free Buddy Up goodie bag
A chance to win a $100 gift card to Sports Authority
Free email training tips to keep you motivated
Secure storage for your belongings on race day
