It is with a heavy heart that we have to tell you that this year’s LIVE, IN PERSON Action For Distraction is being canceled by The Foundation for Morristown Medical Center out of an abundance of caution for the flu, COVID-19 and other seasonal illnesses, as well as in keeping with the CDC guidelines on social distancing. While we are canceling the live event on May 9th, we ARE keeping the event’s “Virtual 5K” option open! You can sign up through MIDNIGHT on MAY 9TH!!
Whether you're new to the 5K scene, or you've done one before, and you want to improve your time, we have some training programs that will help you get ready for the big day!
