About the RUN FOR PIE 2026
Run for Pie goes on Thanksgiving morning, which means the course is full of people who would otherwise be standing over a stove. The race is a short out-and-back loop, so the whole field tends to stay close together, and the kids' Turkey Chase runs on the same course before the main wave heads out.
Pumpkin pie is waiting at the finish, which is a solid reason to push the last stretch. The race benefits a local food bank and the high school track team. Packet pickup runs through the local Fleet Feet, and race-morning pickup is available as well.
