Jeff Fife: Sign up for the June 2 Tri for the Y

As a friend of the Y, I hope you’ll consider coming out to our next great event this year, the 4th Annual Tri for the Y on June 2nd! We’ve had a great time with this in the past and I think you would really enjoy the day. The proceeds from the race go to benefit the Y, and the Tri for the Y is a great opportunity to get out for some new and different fitness on a beautiful course that winds though Waynesboro.
