Grab your friends and family and join Mayor Smith for a day of laughs during our 2nd Annual Scotch Plains 0.5k Race on Sunday, August 18th!

Beginning in Town Center, with a shot gun start (ok not a real shot gun - there are laws) the "race" will take you in a 547 yard circle. Go too fast and you are sure to get dizzy! But don't drag your feet, a pint of beer courtesy of Stage House Tavern (obvious age restrictions apply) or a cup of ice cream from Mr. Softee await you at the finish line.

Tons of family fun with Scotch Plain's famous DJ Ed! A great afternoon in Scotch Plains for a great cause! Child's Play Challenge Course and other children activities will be available as well as a children only race.

Proceeds to benefit METAvivor the parent organization for our local chapter -  METAvivors of NJ. This nonprofit supports research and change in legislation as well as support for men and woman battling Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer.
