We all run 20 percent faster when we can smell sweet, gooey cinnamon buns.

That's totally NOT scientifically proven. In fact, we just made it up. But you'll have a chance to explore that claim yourself during the 2nd Annual Cinnamon Bun 5K, 10K, and brand-new 2K Pup Strut. It all starts at 10 a.m. Sunday, March 29, at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater.

You can run, walk, jog, skip, sashay ... you get the idea. Everyone is welcome, and you'll receive a FREE warm cinnamon bun and a unique finisher medal at the finish line. Your furry friend will get a special treat, too.

The event raises money for The Andreas Foundation, which fights neonatal encephalopathy while supporting families affected by the condition. It's a serious neurological condition that presents itself during or shortly after birth, so The Andreas Foundation works to ensure families aren't overwhelmed or alone in those critical moments. They also support increased awareness and research.

Can you think of a better reason to get out and move your body? The inaugural event sold out last year, so don't wait! Visit MegaBite Events or RunSignup.com to register today and claim your cinnamon bun!
