Charity Run for Moorestown Grad This Weekend

A 5k trail run fundraiser will be held this weekend to support a Moorestown High School alumni who was severely injured in a car accident just days before graduation last summer.

Brianna Wittman was 18 when a car accident on I-295 last June left her in critical condition. She remained in a coma for several weeks, but periodic reports from family members on her CaringBridge website indicated she was making slow but steady progress on the road to recovery.

The "Run for Recovery" 5k trail run and 1.5-mile trail fun walk will be held on Saturday, May 4, at 1607 Jacksonville Road in Burlington. 

You can sign up for the race here. Early registration is $22.50, while registration the day of is $25 for either event. 

Awards will be given out for the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the top male and female finishers in the following age groups: 12 and under; 13-15; 16-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; 60-69; and 70+. 

The first 200 registrants will receive a free T-shirt. T-shirts will be given out to race-day registrants while supplies last.

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and the race kicks off at 9 a.m.
