| | | | | | Race Information | | | Description: | | | | | The 5th Annual Hip Hop 5K/10K is an event that benefits hip dysplasia research and awareness. We have partnered with the hip program at Boston Children's Hospital to work on achieving these endeavors. It is a 5K and 10K race; both are USATF certified and sanctioned. Don't like to compete in running? Come do the 2 mile walk! Last year we had over 500 participants!
Tee shirts and bags to the first 350 Runners guaranteed! Live music and a timely race start! Check out what others are saying: www.hiphop5k10k.org
Hip Dysplasia affects thousands of people each year from newborns to adults and is the #1 Cause of hip arthritis. More than 90% of the young and older adult cases cannot be diagnosed in childhood by current methods of screening. It is a painful process where the ball slips in and out of the socket, which causes the hip to wear out much faster than normal. Think of a car's tires and how they wear out faster when the car is out of alignment. Surgery to treat the condition can be long, painful, and invasive and multiple surgeries are needed more often needed. Life-long disability can result and regardless of the length of treatment, the financial emotional and physical impact on families and patients is severe. The three most common words heard in the process of treating hip dysplasia are "I don't know". The Hip Hop 5K/10K seeks to play a leading role in changing that.
Hope to see you on race day! On behalf of all the doctors patients and families battling the struggle with hip dysplasia I would like to thank you for your time and we look forward to seeing you on race day! | | | | |
