Noble Stein will give our race participants a free draft if they bring in their stamped race plate after a race! (Must be 21 years old or older.)

YC Monthly races began as a way to introduce more folks to the cross-country trail system that travels around Yellow Creek Lake and also as a way to raise funds and increase membership for Friends of Yellow Creek. We couldn’t do this without our sponors who offset timing and insurance costs. Our full list of 2024 sponsors is here. Please take a few moments to check out their services, visit them, and thank them for supporting us!

We will be doing our spring trash clean up for Friends of Yellow Creek on Saturday, April 13th from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM. We are part of the Adopt-a-Highway program and are responsible for the stretch of 422 between S. Harmony road and the park entrance.

We will meet at the Environmental Learning Center at Yellow Creek (after the main entrance, pass the office park near Dragonfly Pond) to get organized at 10:00 AM. We will meet again at noon to have some pizza and beverages. Safety signs will be on route 422 and volunteers are provided with gloves and safety vests.

Please let us know if you can help out by filling out this form.

We’ll only contact you if weather causes a postponement or to invite you to future volunteer events.

Thank you,

Beth

Brandon Haggerty and his team in Clymer, PA are top-notch; the best in the area. Their generous donation also helped cover our insurance costs. Don’t hesitate to contact them for your sports-related injury or any other physical therapy needs.

Building the Fleet

by friendsofyellowcreek@gmail.comsailing February 7, 2024February 13, 2024Comments are Disabled

Punxy Phil says its almost spring. If you haven’t sailed with us in a while, we’re happy to share the news that we continue to develop the fleet — adding newer boats to meet the needs of learners and community sailors. Just last weekend, volunteers accepted an sporty Open Bic sailboat suited for 10-15 year olds. Check out our updated Current Fleet page. And if you have spring fever, why not join/renew your membership in Community Sailing at FOYC today. Our Wednesday afternoon group lessons will launch by Memorial Day. Feel free to contact FriendsOfYellowCreek@gmail.com with questions. Experienced sailors can join and ask to be “signed-off” to access the fleet.
