Please join the Family YMCA of the Desert in this year's VIRTUAL event to help continue programming supporting the children and families of the Coachella Valley. Starting October 4th, you will have 20 days to cover 20 miles in however many runs, walks, cycles or swims you like; wherever you like and whenever you like!
the Coachella Valley Run/Walk has moved to a Virtual event. The run/walk will now be held through the Charge Running App, where you'll be able to run/walk together at the same time on whatever course you choose.
The annual Martha’s Village & Kitchen Thanksgiving Day 5K is one of the Coachella Valley’s most anticipated events and the largest fundraiser for Martha’s Village & Kitchen.
