Strides for Education 5K Run/Walk & Fun Run

Sign up now for the 9th Annual Strides for Education Hybrid 5K Run/Walk on our FLAT, FAST course through the streets of Morris Plains. Organized by the EFMP, race proceeds benefit all students in the Morris Plains School District. This year's race will still be a hybrid event (in person and virtual), so you can join us on race day in person on the streets of Morris Plains (Start/Finish at Simons Park) OR run at your own location/time on Nov. 2nd or 3rd.

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 Nov. 2nd or 3rd. 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 most spirited and the largest teams win a prize, plus social media exposure and exclusive bragging rights until next time!
