Pi in the Sky

Pi in the Sky will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at 6:00 AM, starting and finishing at the Hope Bible Church parking lot at 9425 N 26th St, Phoenix, AZ. This is a FAT ASS style event with no entry fee, limited to 50 runners. The out‑and‑back course totals approximately 8–9 miles, crossing the 51 Freeway onto Dreamy Draw Bikeway, then through the Phoenix Mountain Preserves and summiting Piestewa Peak. Course markings are partial at critical junctions, and Garmin coordinates will be available. The trails are rocky, extremely technical, with very minimal shade and high exposure — participants should prepare for hot weather.

All participants are responsible for their own well‑being. This is a no‑fee event with minimal aid. Finish line feels (refreshments or recognition) are provided to all who complete the challenge. The course can be confusing due to various spider trails; participants are encouraged to use provided Garmin coordinates. The run is organized by GhostHead Productions.

• Results from 2024 and 2025 are available. Manual timing is used.
• No specific cut‑off time, age restrictions, or refund policy apply (no fee).
