About the Event

Come kick off Thanksgiving morning, with a 5K or if you want to really  "justify the pie" and potatoes, we offer a 15K. Bring the kids for a 1 mile fun run!

The "Justify The Pie" is more than just a race; it's a celebration of unity and well-being. This event is designed to bring people of all ages and fitness levels together to burn off some energy and calories before indulging in the festive Thanksgiving dinner later that day. Whether you're an avid runner or someone looking to enjoy a morning of movement, this event has something for everyone.

The event takes place at Jamestown Lower Elementary. Race Options include a 5k, 15k, and a 1-mile kid fun run Our scenic routes will take participants along the back country roads and trails, offering a variety of terrains to cater to different preferences and abilities.

However, the true essence of the Justify The Pie Run lies in its philanthropic mission. All proceeds from this event will be dedicated to Servants Center. A nonprofit faith-based organization that provides high quality, relationship-based street outreach and ongoing support services to mentally ill poor and homeless people in our community.
