Courageous Christopher 5K Walk/Run & Stroller Strut to raise money to build integrative playground

Sharp Water to donate bottled water

SALISBURY, MD – The second annual Courageous Christopher 5K Walk/Run & Stroller Strut is May 15 at the Asbury United Methodist Church on Camden Ave. in Salisbury. Proceeds will go toward building an integrative playground – “The Everybody PlaySpace” at Pinehurst Elementary School.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Competitive 5K walk/run begins at 10 a.m. and the recreational 5K walk/run also begins at 10 a.m.

Online registration is $25 prior to event. Registration on day of race $30.00

The first 200 registrants receive a moisture wicking T-shirt with race day gift bags to be given to the first 500 participants.

Bottled water is donated by Sharp Water of Salisbury and is available for event participants.
Awards go to the top three overall winners: Top three male and female finishers in each category, 12 & under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+.

All runners, walkers, friends, and family are invited to stay after the race for a fun day with food, drinks, a pig roast, kids activities and live entertainment.

Four year old Christopher Mull has Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy for which there is currently no cure. Dravet syndrome is a severe pediatric epilepsy that develops in the first year of life. Children afflicted have a significant impact on their quality of life from very difficult to control seizures, developmental regression and sleep disturbances to profound physical and cognitive delays.

The community helped raise the funds needed to obtain a seizure response dog for Christopher Mull with the proceeds from a 5K race held last May. The support from the community was so overwhelming that the Mull family decided to hold this race again to support a local project.

The Everybody Playspace at Pinehurst Elementary School is a worthy cause and will benefit disabled children like Christopher.
