Will Run For Pie


This Saturday, the Jacksonville Landing is hosting a Block Party 5K with live music, free beer, and the chance to win some pie!

It's part of the Nike 5K Championship, although there's also an Open 5K component. Here's what you need to know:

The 5K Championship starts at 7:30 PM, June 12, at the corner of Laura and Bay Streets. You can run in the championship race if you have run under 17:00 (men) and 20:00 (women) in a 5K in the last year. Nike running shoes will be given to each male who breaks 16:30 and to each female who breaks 20:00. You must run in the championship race to qualify for these prizes. The course is 5 loops and is ideal for spectating.

The Open 5K
Open to all runners and walkers except those who run in the invitational race. This race is designed to give more runners a chance to win in their age group. 250 custom designed Run for the Pies medals will be given up to 15 deep in some age groups (See Open Race Awards). Plus, you could also win an apple pie!

How you Can Win a Pie!
200 pies will be given at the finish based on the following times or until they run out. Men must break 20 minutes (gun time) and women must break 24:00 minutes (gun time) to qualify.
