🚨 BREAKING: The secret to anti-aging may have been hiding in Morris Plains all along. No creams. No serums. Just one local dad, several vintage race shirts, and a whole lot of miles.

👀 Spotted in the wild: Don Yungher, training for this year’s Strides for Education 5K in a vintage race shirt. 🏃 Clearly, Don knows a good 5K when he sees one.

Registration is open. Vintage shirt is optional. Being like Don is encouraged.

Keep your eyes open...we have a feeling you’ll be seeing more of Don…😎
