The PWAY 5K returned to PHS on May 1, 2022, after a 2 year hiatus due to COVID-19. With over 200 attendees, the PWAY 5K raised over $4000 which will go towards funding Piscataway Highschool’s senior celebrations including the Senior BBQ and movie night and Prom.

“We want to try to avoid financial burdens on our students… since there are so many costs that come up around the end of the year and give everyone the opportunity to have some fun memories,” said Mr. Horan, who organized the PWAY 5K.

The event itself started at 8 and ended around 11. Local businesses like Courtland Events, Tokarz, Burn Fitness, Radiology group were seen at the race, with information booths set up for attendees to visit.

“We really could not do it without our local businesses getting involved… Thank you to Sodexo and Wawa for providing us with water for the race. Thank you to all our sponsors for pitching in and being there when we really needed them,” said Mr. Horan.
