Last year the race was held at Lake Crabtree with 230 people registered.  Willaim Peedin (21:24) and Maggie Verwiel (19:43) took the top spots in the 5K.

Once again, the race, which includes a 1-Mile Walk in addition to the 5K, will be held at Lake Crabtree Park located at 1400 Aviation Parkway in Morrisville, starting at 9 am.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the National MPS Society in their fight to find cures for MPS and related diseases.

​The National MPS Society has raised over $5 million through fundraising efforts for research of MPS and ML diseases.  Every dollar raised will go to research - EVERY DOLLAR.

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and related diseases are genetic lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) caused by the body's inability to produce specific enzymes. Normally, the body uses enzymes to break down and recycle materials in cells. In individuals with MPS and related diseases, the missing or insufficient enzyme prevents the proper recycling process, resulting in the storage of materials in virtually every cell of the body.

For more information on the Society and the fine work they do, go to www.mpssociety.org.

The fee for the 5K is $35 and the fee for the Mile Walk is $25.  There also is family of four registration fee of $125.

In the 5K, awards will be presented to the first male finisher and to the first female finisher and to the top finishers in each of the following age groups (both sexes): 12- under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70-over.
