Caldwell, NJ — The MSDA Meghan Doyle ’05K returns on Saturday, May 3, 2025, bringing together runners, walkers, and supporters for a meaningful morning of community, remembrance, and giving. Now in its 11th year, the event, which takes place at Mount St. Dominic Academy, 3 Ryerson Avenue, Caldwell, continues to honor the life and legacy of Meghan Doyle, a 2005 graduate of Mount St. Dominic Academy, who passed away in 2013 after a brief illness.
Created in 2015 to help fulfill Meghan’s goal of reconnecting with her alma mater and running a 5K, the event serves a dual purpose: celebrating Meghan’s memory while supporting the Tuition Assistance Program at Mount St. Dominic Academy. To date, the ’05K has raised nearly $300,000, directly benefiting students who seek the gift of a Mount education.
Meghan grew up in the Maplewood/South Orange area and attended Our Lady of Sorrows School in South Orange for elementary school. Her parents, longtime residents of Maplewood, remain active members of the community today.
