Westfield Youth Assistance Program (WYAP) will hold its third annual Walk/Run event, “The Double,” from 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 8, at Cool Creek Park and Nature Center, 2000 E. 151st St., Carmel.
Packet pickup runs from 8 to 8:30 a.m., with the actual walk/run beginning at 8:30 a.m.
“The Double” is a two-mile family-friendly walk/run, with the name referring to both the two-mile closed-loop course and the desire for WYAP to double its impact in Westfield. Overall, “The Double” aims to be a vibrant event that brings together residents of Hamilton County and Westfield to support WYAP. The event will host additional fun activities including a soccer rebound tech board brought by proud partner and sponsor Sogility. “The Double” is expected to have more than 200 participants.
“The Double has become more than a race. It’s an opportunity for our community to come together in support of local youth and families,” said Dan Morrow, WYAP board member and event committee chair. “The event reflects WYAP’s mission of strengthening families and helping young people succeed through mentoring, early intervention, and access to critical resources. The support generated through The Double helps make that work possible.”
Registration is now open on the walk/run website, with special early-bird pricing of $30 per individual through June 30, when it will switch to $35. Registering families can select “Multi-Person Pricing” to receive a discount on registrations for three to six people for $70 with special early-bird pricing through June 30, when it will switch to $80.
Proceeds from “The Double” will help support WYAP’s services, including mentoring, tutoring, mental health supports, camps, and other enrichment activities. WYAP has seen a drastic increase in need as Westfield has continued to expand rapidly. “The Double” is a great way to help continue to meet this growing need and is a phenomenal opportunity to connect with the community.
