The YMCA Strong Kids Run is a unique race held in downtown Brandon, Manitoba. Our event takes place annually on the last Sunday of May.

Our event features four different timed events: 5K, 10K, 15K and 20K, as well as a 1K Family Fun Run, 5K walk, and 10K walk. The race starts outside our YMCA located on 231 8th Street. Our race takes you through some of downtown Brandon, finishing the race back at the YMCA.

Our course is a looped course consisting of 5K to the east and 5k to the west.
