Hundreds turned out on Sunday for the Rye YMCA’s 37th Annual Rye Derby and Healthy Kids Day. The 5M race and 5K Run/Walk were officially kicked off by Rye Mayor Josh Cohn, while New York State Assemblyman Steve Otis started the 1M Family Fun Run/Walk, which for the first time included a lively dog parade.
Proceeds from the event support the Y Cares Financial Assistance Program, helping to ensure the Rye YMCA remains accessible to all through camp, childcare, program and membership subsidies. “This event truly captures the spirit of our community—vibrant, active, and welcoming to all,” said Sabrina Murphy, CEO of the Rye YMCA. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated, volunteered, and supported the Y’s mission.”
