Members of the Budd Lake Fire Department participated in the first annual MS Society Mud Run in Liberty State Park in Jersey City by setting up several hose lines for a shower so contestants could wash off the mud before leaving. The event entered over 1,000 runners covering a 6.2 mile Military style obstacle course all in mud, raising close to $200,000 dollars for MS. The fire department saw over 900 runners come through the shower station.
