Still time to enter ‘I Like Pie’ run-walk
Join FootZone for our Thanksgiving Day “I Like Pie” Run/Walk and pie baking contest! Since 2009, participants have donated over 28,000 pounds of food and raised nearly $47000 for NeighborImpact’s Emergency Food Assistance program, a program that serves over 20,000 individuals per month. I Like Pie participants bring and eat over 160 pies a year!
This year’s family-friendly, untimed run/walk is on Thanksgiving morning, November 26 th at 9 am, and convenes at Riverfront Plaza, in front of Crow’s Feet Commons.

Food Drive: Food donations should be brought to the collection trailer at Riverfront Plaza on the morning of the event. Last year we collected 6000 lbs of food and we’d love to top that this year!
Additional Donations: We will have a collection jar for any additional financial donations to NeighborImpact on the day of the event.
Course: A new family-friendly option allows young runners and their families to do a 2k circuit of Drake Park, with no major street crossings, before returning to Riverfront Plaza for pie. Continuing along the 1 st Street Rapids trail, the 5k and 10k turn-arounds will be marked; the 12 mile turnaround is the green gate at the end of the trail. This is an untimed event.
