Pizza Run

Saturday, April 5 at 8:30 am

3.5 Miles

Ed and Shannon Zanelli's house

 

16 runners and some eager volunteers gathered at the Zanelli household on a beautiful Saturday morning to take a tour of the Northeast Heights area and prove that pizza makes a perfect meal anytime -- even breakfast!  While the runners were out on their run, resident pizza chef, Ed Zanelli, manned the pizza oven and began baking some really yummy pies.  Out on the course, competition was fierce.  Laura Shike, back for her first handicap after the birth of their son, was victorious with her mother-in-law, Darlene, right behind her.  At one point in the race, 5 runners finished in a 13 second period, adding some excitement to the early morning run.  With Shannon and Ed as first-time timers for the race, they both have a new found respect for what John and Roxie do each month with respect to timing.  It's not as easy as they make it look!

 

Runners were rewarded with pizza afterwards and also enjoyed some delicious bake goods that Natasha Sutherlin was selling as part of her fund raising efforts for Ironman Arizona later this year.

 

Hope you all will join us for the May handicap.  Stay tuned as more details on that are soon to follow.
