The Peyton’s Wild and Wacky 5K (or 10 x 5K) is a great cause. The proceeds benefit the Mt. Pleasant Track Club and Injured Marine’s Semper Fi fund. The race is held in memory of Peyton Moore, who passed away at the age of 10 from a seizure.
This is a trail run, and the trail is technical. Last year, the trail was very muddy and I was coming off an injury, so I did not push the pace. Peyton’s family directs and manages the race along with some friends, and you may not run your fastest time but you will have a fun time. Also this 5K starts at 11 AM so you can sleep in.
If you want to run a 50K ultra this is a great option as you run a 5K on the hour every hour. Also you can divide it up and run as a team with friends.
Last year’s food was catered by Jim and Nick’s BBQ but they also had some typical race refreshments. You could get a post-race massage as well. The swag was good as everyone got a finisher’s medal, most people won awards (rocks painted by Peyton’s classmates), and you got a tech t-shirt.
This race was really fun and I would encourage everyone to add it to their calendar! It is a great value for the money and you are supporting great people and a great cause.
