Adults and children ages 10 and older can compete in this event Sunday at the Darien YMCA.
Check-in for the event is at 8 a.m., and the fitness events will take place from 9 a.m. until noon. Advance registration is required at www.darien-ymca.org or at the Darien Y’s front desk by Friday.
During the event, teams of four will be competing in seven 15-minute fitness challenges. Two events, the rock-climbing wall and the 200-yard swim, will be completed by only a few of the team members. The other events will need to be completed by all four team members.
A list of the events is available on the Darien Y’s website or at the Wellness Center.
Kids can compete in the family division of the Y Games, but each team must include at least one adult ages 18 or older.
Prizes awarded to the winning teams in each division will include tickets to a New York Yankees game, personal training and massages.
The Darien Y also will have a raffle to benefit the Y Games with the prizes displayed in its front lobby.
Tickets can be purchased at the Y’s front desk for $5 each. All proceeds from the Y Games will benefit the Darien YMCA Financial Assistance Program. Last year the Darien YMCA provided more than $500,000 in financial assistance to children, families and seniors in its community, which included scholarships to camp and scholarships for special needs programs.
