• Description: The Rumpshaker 5k was organized by family and friends in the memory of Lisa Martz. On June 22, 2004, Lisa was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at the age of 48. Although her cancer was advanced, meaning it was not only in her colon but had spread to another organ, she was determined to fight! During her near 4 year fight against colon cancer she showed strength and courage. She continued her devoted role as mother and grandmother. She showed enthusiasm for life, displayed her faith in Christ and according to her doctors exemplified the determination to live. Although Lisa fought with determination and faith her body succumbed to the disease on October 5, 2007.
  
  The Rumpshaker consists of two events - a 5k (3.1) mile run and a 1 mile run. The 5K is a USATF certified course and will be by the Historical Sloss Furnaces.
