About the Event

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.
