Splash Dash 2024, the annual Mule Creek State Prison Fun Run, had its largest participation yet with 100 runners and walkers.

The Fun Run allows staff and their families to enjoy a few hours of healthy activities while strengthening bonds with their coworkers.

“This year we were lucky to have in attendance Rainbow Brockenborough, Regional Health Care Executive, Dr. Bradley Archibald, Chief Dentist, and Dawn Lorey, Assistant Deputy Director,” according to organizers.

Mule Creek State Prison Chief Nurse Executive Micheil Yule brought the spirit in his 1980s themed track suit.
