Thighs B4 Pies

Thighs B4 Pies is a Thanksgiving morning run in Fremont, Indiana, on November 26, 2026. The event has one format, a 6.2-kilometer course (just under 4 miles), starting at 8:00 a.m. The playful name says it all: the idea is to get your legs moving before the pies come out later in the day.

At a little under four miles, this distance is a comfortable step beyond a standard 5K without being a major commitment, so it suits regular runners who want a bit more than 3.1 miles as well as newer runners ready for a small challenge. Treat it as a holiday effort rather than an all-out race if you are new to the distance. Four to six weeks of consistent running, with a weekly longer run that reaches four miles, will have you ready to cover the course comfortably. Late November in northern Indiana calls for gloves, a hat and layers you can peel off as you warm up.
