Race Recap: Run for the Pie 10K by H.A. Zimmerman

07/20/2025

I was confused. Staring at the sign-up page for the Run for the Pie 10K, I was confused – why a July race? Pi(e) Day is March 14! And why a 10K? Why not a 3.14-mile race? Despite these questions, it looked like so much fun! I mean, a race where your entry fee was…
