03-16-20 "Pancake Pentathlon - Cancelled"
Out of an abundance of caution and to help facilitate social distancing we have been given direction by our corporate office to suspend all events at the YMCA including the Pancake Pentathlon that was scheduled for Sunday, 3/22. This is in light of the public health concerns related to coronavirus (COVID-19) and the directives from the County of San Diego and State of California.  For updated information on what’s happening within the YMCA with regard to COVID-19, please visit www.ymcasd.org/coronavirus.  We truly appreciate your understanding and support to help keep our community safe and healthy during this evolving situation.
