The Missing Slice - Love, Hope & Pizza 5K

The Missing Slice - Love, Hope and Pizza 5K is scheduled for Adrian, Michigan, on October 24, 2026. A single format is on the program, a 5K run or walk over 3.1 miles, and it starts at 8:30 a.m. Entrants choose their own approach on the day, whether that means racing the distance or walking it with company.

Half-past eight is a practical start time: early enough to have the rest of the day free, late enough that you are not driving in the dark. For a first 5K, aim for three sessions a week over six weeks and mix running with walking breaks until the three miles feel continuous. If you are already fit and want a sharp result, a short eight-week block with weekly intervals and a tempo run will put you in shape to race it properly.
