Join us for the inaugural Peace of the Pie 5K as we race to raise money to purchase fresh, local produce to be donated to St.
Mary's Food Bank for families looking for healthier, more nutritious choices in their everyday diets.
All food will be purchased and supplied from Crooked Sky Farms and Farmer Frank Martin. On average, CSF has an excess of 3,000lbs of surplus veggies from their farms, which will be delivered to St.
Mary's Food Bank on behalf of The Peace of the Pie donations.
Also included in the donations will be healthier choices, such as quinoa, brown rice, legumes, etc so our less fortunate neighbors can make healthier meals for their families. Along with the food, we will be providing YouTube videos showing how to prepare these veggies, etc.
from Chef Lou Swartz, as well as other local celebrity chefs. And, recipes including nutritional values, courtesy of Chrissy Barth, who has her Masters in Nutrition and is a professor at ASU. After the race, grab your medal and head over to the pie booth and take a pie in the face for charity! Completely optional of course, but where is the fun in that? We will also have 2 food trucks there for our first 'Battle of the Trucks'.
Each racer will be given a food voucher for 1 breakfast item from one truck of their choosing.
The truck with the most vouchers at the end will win the battle and bragging rights till the next race!Event details and schedule 5K Course Map Packet Pick-up Opportunities Friday, October 1 2016 from 4:00 - 7:00pm - Classic Cooking (map) Classic Cooking is located at 10411 E McDowell Mountain Ranch Road in Scottsdale.
