Did you know that Morris Catholic is a co-educational college preparatory school in Northern NJ founded in 1957? Morris Catholic was designed to serve students in Morris County from a perspective of Catholic values. With an average enrollment under 500 students, Morris Catholic is considered to be the right size for a student who wants to find a community that is authentically caring and lands students in the best colleges in the country. One of Morris Catholics goals is to keep its tuition within reach of all families. Therefore, it relies on various fund raising activities such as this race, to enhance the students high school experience and to provide scholarships to those who require financial assistance.

As Morris Catholic is located in Denville, NJ, it is only fitting that the proceeds of the race are shared with the Denville Public Assistance Fund, to give back to this wonderful community!

A good run for a good cause? Let's do it!

May the luck of the Irish give us a sunny day; but the race runs on Rain or Shine!
