Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers issued the following announcement on Sept. 3
Due to the increased incidence of COVID-19 in the community, Morris Hospital has announced that it is changing its Corn Fest 5K Run previously scheduled for September 25 to a virtual event. The Youth Fun Run has been cancelled.
Those participating in the Corn Fest 5K Virtual will run or walk a 5K course or route of their choice anytime during the week of September 25-October 2. After completing the 5K, participants will submit their time online following instructions provided at the time of registration. Race results will be posted online after October 2. Awards will not be issued due to course variation.
