“Murph”, the beloved rabbit who lives in “Murphry’s Burrow”, has signed on as spokesbunny for the Murfreesboro Half Marathon’s Fun Run, newly named “Murph’s Fun Run”. He was the obvious choice, as he is an advocate of helping kids lead a healthy lifestyle while having fun.

Murph is the host of the national award winning children’s educational television program Adventures in Murphry’s Burrow which airs on the cable access channel City 3.  Now in its seventh season, the series is a winning collaboration between Murfreesboro City Schools, City 3, and series creator Nancy Phillips.  Tune in weekdays at 3:30 p.m. and weekends at 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. for the newest episode.

“I am so ‘hoppy’ to be the face of the Murfreesboro Fun Run,” said Murph. “Even with the hectic life of a celebrity, I try to stay healthy and to let children know how important it is to eat right and get plenty of exercise. I guess I am the obvious choice for spokesbunny since I run everywhere I go!”

Special Kids, Inc., will be providing volunteers for Murph’s Fun Run.

“It is going to be so much fun and everyone is welcomed….except for tortoises (due to their unfair advantage and secret ninja skills),” said Murph.
