EPISODE DESCRIPTION: A FREAK ACCIDENT SPURS MICHAEL TO ORGANIZE AN EMPLOYEE CHARITY RUN - THE OFFICE, SEASON 4 EP. 1&2
Join us in the REVIVED: Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin SPRINGFIELD Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race For The Cure ! We are calling ALL Office Fans to join us in the 1 Mile, 5k, 10k, or Virtual Run to re-live The Office episode "Fun Run" in REAL LIFE! Come on out to see Meredith being hit by Michaels car (just for fun) and breaking her pelvis, the office donate a $340 dollar check to a "Rabies Doctor"/nurse, Andy prevent chafed nipples, Jim and Pam buy a vase, and Michael on the side of the road with an alfredo sauce sickness!
Don't worry though, this event will be a looped course, NOT 5 kilometers away from the start like in the "Fun Run" episode ;)
Michael: This is going to be a very good year. Very good. Jan is at home. Jim is back. My protege Ryan is at corporate. Good stuff. Um… Andy and Dwight are rockin’ the sales team. I feel very blessed. [slams on breaks, camera turns, Meredith rolls off the hood]
