The Second Annual Marah Griffith Johnstown Inclined Plane Trail Run & Nature Walk for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT) September 2, 2007

"Not a Walk in the Park"

Benefits The CMT Foundation

This event is dedicated to Marah Griffith who died, at age16, on

Christmas Day 2001 in Vail, Colorado of respiratory arrest as a

consequence of CMT. Click on Marah's picture for story.

Lace up your running or walking shoes (tightly), have a fun morning, burn some calories and help fight the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease(CMT). This event is a not as insane as it may appear, but will be a fun family affair for a great cause. The run follows the walking path up the side of the “hill” and then splits onto a wide picturesque fern lined trail. The race then leaves the woods and the final leg includes a scenic .7 mile run through old Westmont to the top of the Incline Plane. The walk is a more direct (vertical) route along the Incline Plane wilderness trail that includes some steps. The run and walk are both shaded so there is no need for messy sun protection.

Thanks to the Cambria County Transit Authority, rides up an down the Incline are free during the event for participants, their families and friends. 

Please join us for a very interesting morning.

Early registration in Johnstown until Thursday, August 30th at Montauk Financial,142 Gazebo Park (2nd floor above the old Hello Shop)--814-539-2341.

This race precedes the incredible  AmeriServ Johnstown FolkFest. Stay after the race and attend the FolkFest.
