Join the annual “Peyton’s Wild and Wacky 5K Ultra” this March! For the past several years we have had a huge turnout, a great race and a lot of fun.
This race is in honor of Peyton Moore, our nine year old son who passed away in 2013. P was a local runner, track and field star and all around great kid who lived life to the fullest. We could not think of a better way to remember our boy than spending a day running and hanging out with all our runner friends.
Just like Peyton, this race will be wild and wacky. Join us for a 10x5K (50K) Ultra or come out and run the 5K event right in the middle of the ultra. Run the 50K solo or make a relay team with 2 or 5 of your friends. All races will be held on the Laurel Hill Trail in Mount Pleasant, SC.
All proceeds from the race will be donated to Peyton’s favorite organizations:
– Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund
– Mount Pleasant Track Club
– Mount Pleasant Academy
This race features one of the best swag bags around, lots of give aways all day, great food, cool shirts with Peyton’s artwork, finisher medals for all races and one of a kind awards.

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.
