Ipswich Family YMCA Run For The Pies

Run For The Pies is a Thanksgiving Day race in Ipswich, Massachusetts, organized by the Ipswich Family YMCA. It is a short community run with two distances, 1.6 km and 3.2 km, suitable for families, walkers, kids, and anyone seeking a brief holiday morning race before the day's main events. Both distances start and finish at Ipswich Town Hall on Green Street. The event follows a simple local tradition: gather in downtown Ipswich on Thanksgiving, run a short course, and incorporate the race into the holiday routine.
