Franklin Lakes' event calendar sees a reshuffling as the 'Super Sunday' 5K, initially postponed due to extreme cold, is now set for March 1st at 10:00 AM at the Franklin Lakes Community Center. The event, a family-friendly initiative by Franklin Lakes Living Healthy, features a 5K run and a 2K 'Pup Strut,' welcoming runners, walkers, and spectators alike. The first 275 registered runners will receive a commemorative t-shirt and medal, with post-race festivities including sponsor vendor booths, music by DJ Steve, and wings.
