It is with great sadness that we have decided to cancel this year's EdK race due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
As you know, the main purpose of the EdK is to promote inclusive exercise in the community and raise money for the LiveStrong program at the Chambersburg YMCA. The family felt this was the best way to remember and celebrate Ed's life who was always encouraging others with his infectious love for exercise (primarily road racing and spinning at the Y), especially during
his 10 year fight with Lymphoma.
Even with the cancellation of the race, we can continue to celebrate Ed in our own ways - his torch burns as bright as ever.
We encourage our racers to support the LiveStrong program so that it continues to Live Strong at the YMCA by donating their entrance fee. This will allow the YMCA to continue to provide their recovery services for our community members who are fighting their own battle with cancer.
We greatly thank you for your continued support of this race, the YMCA LiveStrong program, and the celebration of Ed Sponseller!
