The Child Care Services branch of the YMCA of Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge and South Amboy will host the fifth annual Tot Trot & Youth Fun Run on Oct. 13 at Metuchen High School.
This charity event will help support community families with scholarship assistance when they are unable to pay the full cost of child care. The fund also provides aid to families in crisis and allows Child Care Services to temporarily provide tuition assistance in the event of a family emergency. The event is sponsored by Metuchen Savings Bank.

Races are organized by age group. The Tot Trot for ages 2-5 will begin promptly at 11 a.m. The Youth Fun Run, a 400-meter event for ages 6-12 will begin promptly at 11:30 a.m. All participants will receive a T-shirt.
