Celebrating another amazing year for the First Coast Games with the YMCA

As we wrap up another fantastic season of the First Coast Games, it's time to reflect on the incredible journey we've shared from March through June 2024. Partnering with the First Coast YMCA, this annual corporate challenge has become a cornerstone event that brings our community together in the spirit of health, wellness, and friendly competition.

This year’s First Coast Games were nothing short of extraordinary, with over 600 runners participating in the YMCA 5K and a total of 3,000 participants across all events. The enthusiasm and energy were palpable at the closing ceremonies, and the photos from this year’s events capture the joy and camaraderie that define the Games.

The First Coast Games are more than just a series of competitions; they are about promoting healthy activities in the workplace, fostering team building, and creating networking opportunities among businesses across the First Coast. The variety of events ensures there’s something for everyone, no matter their interests or fitness levels. This year, our participants showcased their skills and teamwork in a wide range of activities, including:

• Cornhole

• Basketball

• Bowling

• Dodgeball

• Flag Football

• Kickball

• Pickleball

• Soccer

• Softball

• Tennis

• Volleyball

• Scavenger Hunt

Each event highlighted the spirit of competition and the importance of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. Whether it was the thrill of scoring a winning goal in soccer or the strategic play in cornhole, every participant brought their best to the table, making this year’s Games a memorable experience.

As we look back on the success of the First Coast Games, we’re already excited for what next year will bring. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, cheered, and supported the Games. Your dedication and enthusiasm are what make this event special.

Stay tuned for more updates, and we can’t wait to see you all again next year for another round of fun, fitness, and friendly competition at the First Coast Games!
