Bring the whole family (or your pet turkey) out to run or walk a 5K in the park. 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 and all registered 5K racers get a shirt (if registered by Oct 30th). This event will benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank. Be sure to register today — this race sells out early every year!
