They run toward what others run from.
Join Youth Emergency Services (YES) for a 5K and 1-mile walk/run celebrating the people who answer the call, and inspiring the next generation to do the same.
This isn't just a race. It's a chance to run alongside first responders, support mental health, build community, and help create a stronger future for those who serve.
YES was created to introduce Iowa County high school students to the world of emergency response and help them discover what it means to serve their communities. This race brings that mission to life.
Proceeds benefit Hidden Beauty Retreat, supporting mental health and wellness for those who spend their lives showing up for others.
Whether you're a runner, a first responder, a family looking for a fun morning together, or someone who wants to support a good cause, there's a place for you at the starting line.
YES empowers the youth of tomorrow while supporting the responders of today.
