WESTFIELD, INDIANA—Westfield Youth Assistance Program (WYAP) is excited to announce its second annual Walk/Run event, “The Double,” will be held on Saturday, August 9, at Cool Creek Park from 8 to 10 a.m.

“The Double” is a 2-mile family-friendly Walk/Run event, with the name referring to both the two-mile closed-loop course and the desire for WYAP to double their 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 Double” is expected to have 200+ participants and will feature a bounce house for the first time this year.

“This is our second year hosting The Double, and we’re proud to see it becoming a tradition that brings the Westfield community together.” Dan Morrow, WYAP Board Member and “The Double” Committee Chair, explains. “It’s a simple event with a big purpose — raising critical funds to support the youth and families we serve every day through mentoring, tutoring, and early intervention.”

Registration is now open on the Walk/Run website, with special early-bird pricing of $30 per individual through July 20. This year, WYAP has eliminated the competitive division; however, registrants can choose the pace they prefer for the course. Registering families can select ‘Multi-Person Pricing’ to receive a discount on registrations for 3-6 people.

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.
