Organiser's description

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 a ways all day, great food, cool shirts with Peytons artwork, finisher medals for all races and one of a kind awards.

50K and 5K
This is an Ultra 50K and 5K combined event. 50K event starts at 7:00am and is a 10x5K format (one 5K at the top of each hour for ten consecutive hours). 5K event starts at 10:00am and runs the same route as the 50K participants (yes, it will be crazy). Relay for the 10x5K is open to two and five person teams (must have full teams). Teams choose their own order for runners and wear their bib for the whole day. This is the best of both worlds, there will be crazy fast runners and crazy ultra runners on the same course. There will be a runner village area for the relay and solo runners to set up tents and hangout while waiting for the next race. We will have great food (Martin's BBQ), coffee, music and give a ways all day. Don't miss the chance to be part of the coolest trail race in the Charleston area!
