Newton’s Woodrow Wilson and Thomas Jefferson Elementray School Parent-Teacher Associations are hosting the first-ever “Run Into Fall” cross country fun run in Maytag Park this Saturday, Nov. 3 at 9 a.m.

The events include a one-mile fun run/walk and a three- to four-mile adventure run. The one-mile run is completely within Maytag Park and includes going over hay bales and traveling through the park in ways most people rarely do.

The three to four-mile run starts and finishes within Maytag Park but also will go “off road” on dirt and grass paths in the adjoining forests and fields to the east. This includes creek crossings, rough terrain, mud and possible wildlife sightings.
