Get ready for a delicious dash at the 6th Annual WisePies Pizza Run, set to take place on Sunday, May 17, 2026, in scenic Albuquerque, New Mexico! This popular community event offers distances for every pace, including a 10K, 5K, and a 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk. Starting and finishing at the Aperture Center in Mesa Del Sol, runners can expect an open setting with breathtaking 360-degree mountain views. The 5K course winds through the Mesa Del Sol community, while the 10K presents a "super challenge" with rolling hills along University Blvd. SE. The 1-Mile Fun Run is truly unique, welcoming participants with dogs, strollers, roller skates, or even scooters for a festive outing. Typical race day conditions in mid-May bring comfortable highs around 80F and lows around 52F, with a minimal 1% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the run, the WisePies Pizza Run is celebrated for its vibrant festival atmosphere, complete with music, inflatable games, jumpies, and booths from various community partners. This year's "Walk of Fame" theme will highlight inspirational WishKids and Girls on the Run, adding a layer of motivation and community spirit to the event. All participants are rewarded with not just finisher awards, but also a fantastic post-race celebration featuring fresh, hot WisePies pizza, pasta, and pizza bites, along with other refreshments. Exclusive event swag, including a t-shirt or tank top, official running bib, and a fun goodie bag, are also part of the experience.

More than just a race, the WisePies Pizza Run is a meaningful opportunity to support Make-A-Wish New Mexico and Girls on the Run - Rio Grande, contributing to a healthier lifestyle and giving back to the community. Whether you're aiming for a personal best on the challenging 10K, enjoying a spirited 5K, or having a fun family outing in the 1-mile event, this run promises an engaging and rewarding experience for everyone.
