Peyton's Wild and Wacky 5K Ultra
Peyton's Wild and Wacky is a trail running event held on the Laurel Hill Trail in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The tenth annual edition takes place in March 2026. The event is organized in honor of Peyton Moore and supports several local organizations and funds.
The competition features a unique 10x5K format for the ultra distances. Participants in the 50K category must complete one 5K loop every hour for ten consecutive hours. Solo runners and relay teams must be lined up at the start of each hour and finish the loop within the 60-minute timeframe. A single 5K event is also held in the afternoon, utilizing the same course as the ultra participants.
The event offers several participation options:
- 50K Solo - One individual completing all ten 5K loops.
- 50K Relay (2 Persons) - A two-person team sharing one bib for ten loops.
- 50K Relay (5 Persons) - A five-person team sharing one bib for ten loops.
- 5K - A single loop trail run or walk.
The race takes place on a natural trail consisting of dirt and potential mud depending on weather conditions. Due to the terrain, strollers are not permitted on the course. While dogs are allowed in the general park area, they are restricted from the trail during the race. Facilities include a runner village where relay and solo participants can set up tents. Registration typically opens in September and often reaches capacity quickly. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
