Run for Pie 5K

What a better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than starting your morning off with a 5K.

This inaugural is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  I mean who does not want to eat PIE after a run.  And trust us, we will have plenty of PIE to choose from.

Bring out the family, call up some old friends, and lace up those running shoes.  

Participants will also be getting an insulated tote bag so they can bring home leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner.

All participants are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to the race to donate to the Newark Area Welfare Committee.  Food collected from the event will go to help feed some of the less fortunate in the Newark Area.

FAQ's

1. I’m registered to run/walk and I’ll be pushing an adaptive athlete/rider course.  Do I have to sign up my rider to get a rider bib?

YES.  Only people with a bib will be permitted on the race course.  Riders will need to register for a Rider Bib at no charge.

2. Are baby joggers, strollers allowed during the event?

If you choose to run with a baby jogger, you must seed yourself in the last corral–behind all other runners and you must register your child  for a Rider Bib, at no charge. 

It is your responsibility to make sure your baby jogger does not impede other runners, and you must take extra precaution to ensure your safety, your child’s safety, and the safety of the runners around you. We reserve the right to pull any participant from the race who is endangering other runners or themselves.

3. Are pets permitted on the course?

For the safety of the participants and spectators, pets are not permitted in any of the Fusion Racing races.

4.. Why do I need to register for a Rider Bib and what do I get with my Rider Bib?
For your continued safety, it’s important that race officials are aware of each person on the race course.  In a medical situation, your emergency contact information will be obtained from your rider bib.  Rider bibs give you access to the race course only.  Riders do not receive any race swag, including but not limited to; race shirt, medal, finisher item, finisher food, etc.  A rider is permitted to register, at the current registration rate, as a race participant instead of as a Rider if he/she wishes to enjoy all of the race benefits.
