Come join us on Thanksgiving morning for our 13th annual Thanksgiving Day race! Run For Pie has become one of Santa Cruz County's favorite holiday traditions. Bring the whole family (or your pet turkey) out to run or walk a 5K. Run for Pie also includes a 1/2 mile Turkey Chase Race for kids. All participants get a slice of pumpkin pie at the finish. This event will benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Soquel High School Track Team. With the high demand for this race every year, we have decided to cap registrations, so be sure to register your friends and family before our race sells out!
Kids 1/2 Mile: All proceeds from this race will go to Second Harvest Food Bank. We are hoping to donate over 12,000 meals this year!
How to register for the Pie Mile Relay: The relay will consist of 4 individuals and each individual will need to register. When you are registering for this specific race, place your first name and next to your last name place your team name. This way we can keep track of full teams.
Race Start Times:
Kids 1/2 Mile: 8:35 am
5k Start Time: 9:05 am
Pie Mile Relay Start Time: 10:15 am
Pricing Update:
Why the random price? Due to the new California Price Transparency Act, we are required to show the price with processing fees added. The price that it is displaying is the $45 + processing fee. We are sorry for any confusion. If you have any questions, please reach out to the race director, amber.melville@fleetfeet.com.
Race Shirt Details:
You can purchase a t-shirt during registration for $5.
