Did you know that there is an annual NYC pizza run in Brooklyn every year, for the past 12 years? Well, now we all know about it. A pizza fan let us know about this amazing 5K pizza run, which we had no idea about. We were going to sign up but the tickets are all sold out. Go figure! When it comes to anything relating to pizza, it will sell out in a flash.
NYC Pizza Run started 12 years ago. In this 5K challenge, participants get to run and eat 2 slices of pizza along the way. I mean, does it get better than that? This 3.1 mile run also benefits Juvenile Diabetes Research. Half of the proceeds will go to research and improving the lives of children with Type 1 diabetes. We will definitely mark this in our calendar for next year, since we missed the sign up for this year.
The registration was $39.02 per person and includes the taxes. With the fee you get an official NYC Pizza Run t-shirt, get to enjoy 2 slices of pizza, a custom race bib, a pizza gift bag, and a free drink at the NYC Pizza Run afterparty. If you joined the race, let us know how you did and how you liked it. And of course, let us know how the two slices of pizza were.
If you want to join the NYC Pizza Run race or watch it, go to:
Fort Greene Park 320 Myrtle Ave Brooklyn, NY 11205
The race will be held on Sunday, September 25th, 2022 at 11:00 AM.
