The Clinton Community YMCA is encouraging its members to complete lofty goals this summer in honor of America 250. 

Rennie Cluver, Executive Director of the Y, says that the new America 250 Fitness Challenge is pushing people to complete 250 minutes of activity a week, or to run 250 miles between May 1 and July 4. He says the accountability system will be similar to their Survivor Program. 

Registration is already open for the America 250 Fitness Challenge. Go to clintoncommymca.org to learn more, or visit the Y located at 417 S Alexander Street in Clinton.
