“The mud run is something new and exciting that has never been done before at PHS,” said Senior Class Advisor, Jennifer Fedo. “I think this event will promote a sense of unity among the community all while benefitting the senior class.”
“I really like the concept. It is something that is not limited to a certain group of people,” said Parsippany High School Principal, Denis Mulroony. “I’m looking forward to racing against PHS students and I strongly encourage others to join us. It’s a can’t miss event!”
The Mud Run offers a unique course that includes a 5k race with 10 obstacles. The obstacles will cater towards both beginners and experienced runners. All participants will receive a t-shirt and a medal and are encouraged to enjoy the Kona Ice Truck at the finish line. The online registration fee is $50.00 and walk up registration is $65.00.
All racers will be placed into waves, which will stagger the start times. The first wave will begin at 10:00 a.m., followed by a family wave at 11:00 a.m., for those who want to race with their children.
