Back Again - The MSDA Meghan Doyle .05K Fun Run for the Kids!
We know the kids want to be a part of the fun, so we're bringing back the MSDA Meghan Doyle .05K Fun Run for the 10 & Under crowd. The races will take place before the '05K, because we know they'll be raring to go. Just sign them up on the Registration page under the Fun Run -- no registration fee for this race. The Fun Run will start at 9:00 am, before the start of the '05K.
You can still run in The Virtual MSDA Meghan Doyle '05K
If you won't be able to join us on the campus of Mount St. Dominic Academy on May 3, you can "run" the Virtual MSDA Meghan Doyle '05K anytime between Saturday, May 3, and Friday, May 9, in the location of your choice, at your convenience*. Plan your favorite route, whether it may be around the park, neighborhood, back yard, or on your treadmill.
All Virtual participants will be assigned a bib number. You may print out your bib for the Virtual MSDA Meghan Doyle ‘05K which can be worn during your race (for your photo ops). We hope you will share your photos with us on social media using the #MSDA05K.
When you are ready to go, just pin your bib to your shirt, get out there and run, jog, or walk those 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). We recommend you plan your course in advance to verify the distance, and keep track of your time while running the race.
Once you have completed your course, have rehydrated, maybe had a bagel, and patted yourself on the back for a job well done, text, email or upload your time to the Virtual MSDA Meghan Doyle '05K results page. Instructions will be sent to you prior to race day. Trust us, this is the easy part!
We hope you will consider the option that works best for you and your family. Most of all, we want to thank you for your continued support of the students Mount St. Dominic Academy.
About the MSDA Meghan Doyle '05K
On May 3, 2025, we will celebrate the 11th running of the MSDA Meghan Doyle 05K, which benefits the Tuition Assistance Program at Mount St. Dominic Academy in Caldwell, New Jersey. The race is held in memory of Meghan C. Doyle, a 2005 graduate of MSDA, who passed away in 2013 after a brief illness.
Two of Meghan's goals in 2013 were to become more involved with her alma mater, and to run a 5K. The race was developed to help Meghan achieve these goals, and to provide assistance to families who want to offer their daughters a Mount St. Dominic Academy education.
We are very excited to be back on campus for an in-person MSDA '05K again this year, and the third annual "MSDA .05K Fun Run" for children 10 and under!
Since 2015, generous donations and participation have raised over $250,000 to benefit a scholarship fund in memory of Meghan Doyle '05 that affords young women the opportunity to receive a Mount education. We hope you will join us to keep this legacy alive and growing!
