Description:

Sign up now for the Annual Strides for Education Hybrid 5K Run/Walk on our FLAT, FAST course through the streets of Morris Plains. Organized by the EFMP, proceeds from the race benefit all students in the Morris Plains School District. This year's race will still be a hybrid event (in person and/or virtual), so you can join us on race day (Oct. 25th) in person on the streets of Morris Plains (Start/Finish at Simons Park) OR run at your own location/time during the weekend.  

We also have a Kid’s Fun Run for children 10 and under to kick-start their running aspirations. Have a little one? This event is perfect for kids and strollers! 

Looking forward to seeing everyone on October 25th (arrive early for the 9am 5K start)! 

WHY WE RUN: Education Foundation of Morris Plains raises money for Morris Plains School District, which will directly benefit all students in the district. This year, we are funding innovative programs powered by our dynamic administration and staff at both Mountain Way and Borough Schools. 

HYBRID: This year's race will be a hybrid event (in person and virtual), so you can join us on race day in person on the streets of Morris Plains OR run at your own location/time on Oct.25th-the run must be done in one session. Please sign up for as a virtual participant if you will participate remotely. 

TEAM CHALLENGE: Choose to register as a team to have fun and raise your organization's profile. The largest teams win a prize, plus social media reignition exposure, and exclusive bragging rights until next time!
