When you cross the finish line at the Happy Valley Half Marathon & 5K, your recovery does not have to be guesswork.
I’m Dr. Maurice Disley, a physical therapist, ultrarunner, and Happy Valley’s official recovery partner. I’ll be running a free Elevation PTP Recovery Zone at the finish festival for both half-marathon and 5K participants.
You’ll find me along the finish line with the other vendors.
Stop by if you finish with:
Tight or unusually sore muscles
Cramping that isn’t settling down
A painful or irritated knee, hip, ankle, foot, or back
A concern about something that changed during the race
Questions about what to do during the first few days after finishing
I’ll provide a brief one-on-one recovery check-in, help you understand what may need attention, and give you practical next steps for the hours and days after the race.
The Recovery Zone is free, but availability will be limited. Reserve your priority check-in here:
You can also scan the QR code at our tent on race day. We’ll accommodate walk-ups as availability allows.
Please remember that the Recovery Zone is intended for routine post-race tightness, soreness, and musculoskeletal concerns. Anyone experiencing a medical emergency or serious symptoms should immediately notify race medical personnel.
I look forward to celebrating your finish and helping you start your recovery well.
