Pie Pursuit 5K — Run for a Cause, Stay for the Fun
Join the 746 Sports Foundation for our inaugural Pie Pursuit 5K, a community-centered fun run with a festive twist! Participants are encouraged to dress in their favorite costumes — from turkeys to pilgrims — and take part in a lighthearted 5K that features family-friendly pie-toss zones along the course.
This unique event is more than just fun and games — it's a fundraiser with purpose. All proceeds directly support local youth through scholarships, free sports events, and community programs organized by the 746 Sports Foundation.
Participants will enjoy:
Whether you run, walk, or get covered in whipped cream, your participation helps empower the next generation right here in Shafter.
Because every pie thrown is a step toward stronger community roots.
