Peyton's Wild and Wacky 10x5K
About the race
The eleventh annual Peyton's Wild and Wacky 5K Ultra takes place on March 13, 2027, on the Laurel Hill Trail in Mount Pleasant, SC. The race honors Peyton Moore, who passed away in 2013 at age nine, a local runner, track and field star and an all-around great kid who lived life to the fullest.
Just like Peyton, this race will be wild and wacky. Run the 10x5K (50K) Ultra solo or make a relay team with 2 or 5 friends, or run the 5K event right in the middle of the ultra.
All proceeds from the race go to Peyton's favorite organizations: Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund, Mount Pleasant Track Club and Mount Pleasant Academy.
