The race will be held in memory of Susan "Suzie" Gallagher-Colurciello, a pre-school teacher and sister of Chief Executive Officer Patricia Gallagher.
"Suzie was more than a part of the Y-family for 15 years. She is the beloved sister to our chief executive officer, teacher to hundreds of four- year-olds throughout her career at the Y, and friend to all who knew her," the YMCA said after her death in May. "Suzie was part of the very fabric of the Y."
Gallagher-Colurciello, a Garfield High School and William Paterson University graduate, died at age 49. She loved the outdoors, vacationing, hiking and taking walks and working out.
