Liberty Middle School Hosting Second Annual Fun Run

Liberty Middle School is hosting its Second Annual “Fun Run” later this week, using the theme of “RUNbunctious.”

The Fun Run is a two-mile run or walk around the campus of Liberty Middle School, located at 1 Kelly Drive in West Orange, and all members of the community are encouraged to attend. Registration and packet pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. and the race begins at 9 a.m. The entry fee for students is $12 or $15 per runner, which increases to $20 on race day.

“As a runner, I’ve seen the hashtag ‘#Runbunctious’ all over social media and interpreted it to mean an excitement about running or being active in general,” Liberty Middle School Assistant Principal and Fun Run Coordinator Aixa Garcia said. “It’s the ideal philosophy for our Health and Wellness campaign for the month of May.”

The middle school hosted an assembly, with the help of the LMS track team, on March 23 to generate support for the event. The middle school will be holding a spirit week during the week of April 27 to promote the May 2 event.

Proceeds from the Liberty Middle School Second Annual Fun Run will go to Liberty Middle School’s Wellness Committee and to the LMS Scholarship Fund.
