YMCA Milkshake Mile Presented by PA Dairymen's Association

August 22, 2026
Harrisburg, PA 17110 US

Milkshake Relay

Think you have the fastest team? Grab three friends and take on the Milkshake Relay! Each relay team consists of 4 registered race participants working together to complete the course and finish a milkshake before crossing the finish line.

  • Teams of 4 registered participants
  • Up to 10 teams total, 5 per heat
  • Approximately 300-yard relay

How It Works

The first runner starts with a milkshake and passes it to each teammate. The fourth and final runner must drink the entire milkshake through a straw, receive approval from the judge, and sprint across the finish line. If the milkshake cup is dropped at any point, the team is disqualified. The fastest overall time wins!

Relay Schedule

  • Heat #1 – 11:50am
  • Heat #2 – 11:55am

How to Enter

The reigning champions and two returning teams have already secured their spots, which means only 7 team spots remain!

Once all four teammates have registered for the race, email your team roster and team name to Chip at Chip.Hitz@ymcaharrisburg.org. The first seven teams to contact us with a complete roster will earn a spot in the relay.

The Harrisburg Area YMCA's mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
